What does it take to be a likeable boss?

Contrary to popular belief, a likeable boss is not a pushover. Your team can like you and respect you at the same time. It’s all depends on whether or not you are gaining their respect and admiration the right way.

One of the biggest fallacies you’ll hear about good managers is that they usually aren’t very likable; that the most effective bosses are usually tyrants who put the success of the business ahead of being nice to their employees.

That’s absolutely untrue, especially in today’s workplace. In the modern business world, so much relies on a boss’ ability to not only motivate workers but also keep them happy – especially the best ones. With all the job-hopping that goes on these days, bosses you aren’t able to retain their best employees simply can’t be viewed as being successful at managing their staff, regardless of whether the business is making money or not.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
