Episode 113: Can Bosses Be Friends with Employees (Boss Better Now with Joe Mull)

NEW EPISODE! Here's a question that comes up a lot - especially among newer managers. Can bosses be friends with employees? Answer: Sure they can! Believe it or not, it happens all the time. Perhaps the better question to ask though...is should they?
For my money, asking this question is a little like asking if you can and should eat an entire 24-pack of string cheese at once. Can you? Sure, I guess. But if you do, some very uncomfortable things are probably going to happen not long after.
Friendships between bosses and employees are the topic of the day - so don't touch that...mobile device.
