Best Boss Inventory
Elevate Workplace Dynamics
Transform your workplace culture by adopting the proven strategies of exemplary leaders. With Best Boss Inventory, you'll not only gain a competitive advantage in your workplace, reduce turnover, and foster better boss-employee relationships but also lead your organization toward greater success. This resource provides the model for emulating the traits of "best" bosses and gives insights into their behaviors in leading, motivating, and inspiring their employees.
How It Works
Best Boss Inventory is a self-administered learning assessment yielding a participant's prominent leadership style, as well as separate scores for each of the six best boss indicators.
The six best boss indicators:
- Connecting people with purpose
- Encouraging ownership
- Focusing efforts on smart work
- Building competence
- Recognizing achievements
- Respecting the individual
Best Boss Inventory also includes an especially helpful feedback component for participants. It allows bosses to compare and clarify perceptions and develop a clearer picture of how others perceive their actions and behaviors.
