We often hear about bad bosses, but we think it’s important to talk about the good ones because we hope that by giving folks examples of how to be a good boss we can inspire future bosses to be better, to do better for their employees and all stakeholders.

I have been lucky to have had many amazing bosses in my past. Each of them has taught me different aspects of the fashion industry and many life lessons. The best boss I ever had was my first boss in the fashion industry when I started working as a fashion assistant at Style.com (now Vogue.com). She was extremely demanding, strong, funny, innovative & amazingly creative. She gave me the opportunity to work with some of the most creative talents in the fashion industry, showed me through example how to take risks, and taught me to “run in heels”. Read more>>

My boss/mentor is an amazing woman from Hawaii. She has thought me so much in my 10 years experience in my career. Her name is Vee Osborne. Vee came to the USA a few years ago starting up her business as a Spa owner. Not to mention she is a massage therapist herself so she knows not only the ends and outs when it comes to being a therapist and the behind the scenes of owning a spa but she’s been a business owner majority of her life with owning boutiques, restaurants, spa’s, and the lists continues.

Hands down, without a doubt, Chris DuPont is the best boss / Chef that I have ever worked for. It is hard to do justice in explaining how one individual can have so much wisdom within themselves that every time they speak, it just flows without effort. My first encounter with him was when I was 18 years old and in my first year of Culinary School and within the first few minutes of my stage at his restaurant in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, I knew, that I wanted to work for him no matter what.

Life is always going to be the best boss you will experience. Life comes in many forms outside of breathe in your body; it comes in the form of lessons, obstacles, stress, highs and lows, disbelief, faith, and acceptance. When opening a business there will be a plethora of emotions and thoughts. There should be an understanding that entrepreneurship is not a path that many can not only handle, but do, successfully.

I have come to understand what a good supervisor looks like. One thing that I have come to understand about myself is that I was not created to work for one particular entity or company. I feel my work is independent and I now understand that I do my best work when I am not shackled or confined by micro managers. Yes, I understand that this work comes with professional boundaries and expectations, however, being a business owner, Read more>>

The Best Boss I ever had was the beautiful Ms. Christy Griffin. She was my Property Manager from July 2015-November 2017. She was such an angel and she always believed in me. She always encouraged me when I was her Leasing Professional at Rosemont Apartment Homes in Roswell, GA. She called me her ‘ray of sunshine’ and she nominated me as “Leasing Professional of the Year” in the state of Georgia. She was so proud of me when I stepped out on faith in 2017 to pursue my dreams in television. Read more>>
