With American adults investing nearly one-third of their waking hours into the workplace, it is no surprise that a bad boss – or a great one – can have a major impact on overall happiness and fulfillment. There are 11 million bosses in this country, and they represent a wide range of personalities and styles. However, experts say that the best bosses share a few character traits which allow them to rise above the rest. On October 16, we set aside a day to honor those bosses who work hard every day to create a positive and productive work environment for everyone.

If you believe that you have the best boss in Kansas City, turn to Tobler’s Flowers for innovative and unique gifts t show your appreciation. 

The Best Bosses are Team Players: The great ones are fully accountable for their people. They pitch in, they share the credit for successes, and they protect their people from blame. On their way to becoming the “best boss”, they encouraged their team, highlighted individual’s strengths, and set up clear paths to advancement. If you work for such a boss, send them a Game Day Planter (Shown above). Green plants are perfect for office spaces, and this gift is sure to express your gratitude to be on the team.

The Best Bosses Create a Healthy Environment: The best boss is passionate, and has developed an air of excitement and camaraderie. They keep toxicity low, and often use humor, team building, or surprise breaks to build their people’s morale. If your boss has created a healthy and fun place to spend your days, have one of our rustic Dish Gardens delivered to the office. Full of oxygen producing green plants, this gift will clear the air and make your environment a better place to be. 

The Best Bosses Have Beautiful Spirits: The successful leaders actually have a humble countenance; they lead from a place of earned respect, and never rely simply on their title to demand compliance. Orchids are a perfect gift for a corporate office or professional business, as they add quiet beauty and sophistication.

October 16 is National Boss’s Day – so if you have a boss worth celebrating, call Tobler’s Flowers. We’ll mae sure they get the credit they so richly deserve.
