Hello, I'm Elaine Kung. We continue on the series SHINE Your Talk! We started on S - Speak with SINCERE, 8C and then we started to look at how to Lead Up using the 7 steps PREPARE strategy. We know we're gonna learn about different boss type, sitting in the whole boss puzzle. And we started with the bully boss. So a total of 11 boss types. So I have ten more to share with you. So the next one, The Good. Wow we all want to have a good boss. The good boss characteristic is they’re easy to deal with personally, maintains a personal and professional separation, very patient and predictable. They don't think outside of the box, go by the book, straightforward, but they're a good manager, may not be great. Just good enough. They just do what makes sense. Sometimes you may think that they're a little bit boring or just status quo because they're more straightforward and rigid. And they accept people as they are, which is good. So that's a good boss. It's easier to work with the good boss compared to what we discussed last time on the bully boss......
