Be the best boss ever
- Don't be everyone's buddy "Talking about your personal life is a
natural way to bond, but it can undermine your credibility," she says.
It's fine to share a few details about your family or your hobbies, but
avoid tales of weekend antics or last night's fight with your mom.

area of your life, you may be reluctant to push to-dos
off your plate at the office. "Delegating projects to
your staff helps them develop new skills and keeps
you from feeling bogged down," says Friedman.
- Tell rather than ask Male bosses give directives, while women tend to make requests, she says. Instead of asking "Would you mind...?" try "Please do..." This subtle tweak establishes you as a leader, not someone who's soliciting help or a favor.
