2. Read the text and discuss it: My Best Boss – Stories of the Greatest Bosses of All Time There’s no shortage of stories about bad bosses out there – get any group of workers
together and you’re sure to hear some horror stories. But it’s rarer that we get to hear
about the good bosses – but there are plenty of them too, and it’s time they got their turn
in the spotlight.
I recently asked readers about the best boss they ever had. Here are five of the most
impressive managers they talked about.
1. Taught me office politics “My first boss was amazing. She would often say, ‘Hey come in here and listen to
this phone call.’ Then she’d explain the politics of what happened and I’d be expected to
handle the next one. Each situation and project she gave me, she prepped me for but ex-
pected me to handle on my own as well. She supported me but demanded that I produce
results. The job had moments that were extremely frustrating and she gave me resources
to help understand what I was doing wrong and alter my strategies.”
