    Being A Likeable Boss

    Duration: 1 Day

    Introduction

    Being more likeable is a quality everyone can increase and improve. Being likeable and a figure of authority is where some challenging conflicts can arise. With this workshop your participants will recognize possible areas of conflict and develop the skills and knowledge to overcome them.

    Our Being a Likeable Boss workshop will show that honesty and trust will be your participant’s biggest tools in fostering a better relationship with their employees. Trusting your team by avoiding micromanagement, using delegation, and accepting feedback will put your participants on the right path to be a more likeable boss.
