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.

Yea….so director James Gunn was filming The Suicide Squad, and I was hired by casting to do some tactical/military special ability work. And it was such a fun experience; lots of action and gunfire. You know James Gunn is one the greats in our industry, and just to watch him work everyday, and take directions and corrections from him was motivating for me as an actor. Anyways, we got to the reshoots, and that’s when he picked me out of the group and gave me a very featured 5-seconds moment. Read more>>

Honestly it’s kind of funny because technically I am my little sister boss. However due to my lack of retail experience I made her the store manager so she’s kind of my boss. My sister Ciahna has been a retail manager and she made my brand hersI have no experience in retail she’s also the manager of my store. I’ve never had any retail experience so because this is my brand but having a store now and having no retail experience I gave my sister the position of manager which basically made her my boss lol. Kind of. I’m her boss and she’s mine. She runs the store. I go to her when I’m having issues, when I need help with anything regarding store and even the brand. Read more>>

The best boss I ever had is the owner of a restaurant in Duesseldorf, Germany. I worked for Stephanie right after high school- I had moved to Germany, knew very little of the language and was frantically trying to get a job and get situated in such a new environment. After dozens of interviews that lead to no offers, I was lucky enough to get a call from her asking me to come in and have an introductory talk. Read more>>

As someone who has been working since the age of 14, I definitely have had several great bosses, but the most amazing boss i’ve ever had would be Zoe, the owner of Seventh Heaven AZ. She is so inspiring and really pushes me to better my skills. I started working with her by taking one of her training courses for Organic Teeth Whitening, and a few months later started working for her! She has truly taught me so many things not only related to the beauty industry, but life lessons that can carry over into anything. Thank you Zoe! Read more>>

The best boss I ever had was my Branch Manager at TD Bank, Vicki Bruce. She was the best boss I ever has because there wasn’t a problem she couldn’t solve and never left you alone with any tough issues. Vicki lead our team by example, from being the best in customer service to arriving early and leaving late every day. She always found your strength and pushed you to be your best. Read more>>
