Communication and leadership style have emerged as the critical attributes that employees say distinguish the best bosses, according our latest published survey.
Other traits such as experience, personality, and even a propensity to encourage teamwork, all rate relatively low.
The question of which generation makes the best leaders is particularly polarizing across the age spectrum. Both GenY and GenX say it’s GenX, while Baby Boomers say it’s their own generation.
Across the board, the majority of employees are unhappy, when it comes to reward and recognition. Their responses suggest that it’s not necessarily more money that they are seeking, but simple efforts to acknowledge where exemplary work is performed.
Overall the message from the workplace seems clear; employees recognize real leadership, they know it’s pivotal for their own success, and they want their bosses to provide it.
