You're the type of boss who likes to be everyone's friend. Think Glenn on "Superstore." You're all about positivity, optimism, and trying to influence others in a genuine way. Unlike many bosses, you believe that your employees should always have a bit of balance and plenty of time to spend doing what they love outside of work. While this is a great thing, it can lead some employees to take advantage of your good nature!

You're the balanced boss! Unlike many bosses, you believe in being as fair as possible to every employee. That means doing the right thing rather than the thing that will make you the most money. It also means being compassionate and granting your employees plenty of time outside of work to spend with family or friends. To you, balance is what can turn a good working environment into a great one.

You're the oblivious boss! You don't really take notice to anything that's going on within your office or work space. If everything is hunky dory in your world, then you assume it's going great for everyone else as well. You're not keen on peering behind the curtain into the lives or daily work schedules of your employees. Instead, you exist in your own little world.

You're the hands off boss! Let's face it- you're the dream boss that everyone hopes to have. You let your employees do what they need to do in order to get through the day. You're understanding, kind, and very confident in your employee's abilities.
