Why Christmas is a big deal for a good boss

There are good bosses, and there are other types of bosses. If you are wondering if you have or are a good boss, here are some questions to answer, truthfully. Does your boss (or do you, if you are a boss) make the employee feel valued? Yes, we know (most) bosses are courteous, (say please and thank you), but does the appreciation end there? Does the boss remember to thank the team after a particularly big win, or does he or she attribute all the glory to his/herself while discountenancing the efforts of the others? Is (s)he concerned about the employees’ personal development, health, or abilities, or is he a slave driver that only cares about getting the job done?
