3 Tips for Being a Great Boss
Hold enough jobs, and you'll experience some awful bosses and a few truly great ones. Most, however, fall somewhere in the middle.

Being in charge is a skill to itself, but wanting to be good at it is a big piece of the battle. The following advice from our Foolish investors won't solve every dilemma you face as the boss, but it does provide a good foundation.
