Who’s the Best Boss You’ve Ever Had?
How to do it:
- During your next team meeting or in your digital channel, use this prompt: “Bosses have the power to influence how their employees turn out. Since working with a good boss is a huge deal for many people, I’d like to challenge you to remember one – Who’s the best boss you’ve ever had, and what makes them so memorable?”
- Show everyone how to do it! Describe the best boss you’ve ever had and how they impacted your life—using as many details as possible.
- Encourage interaction as the team responds – make comments, reactions, or ask follow-up questions.
- Bonus: If the person you’ve described is your current boss, let them know! Just like employees, bosses need to feel appreciated too.
Why it works:
- This activity helps us develop a sense of appreciation for bosses who’ve influenced us positively.
- Discussing what makes each boss memorable helps us identify the qualities that make a good boss—and encourages us to be good bosses too!
- Showing appreciation to bosses enhances their life and job satisfaction and makes them motivated to keep helping people.
