If only there was an instruction manual for how to be a good boss in 2024. Well, there is now… kinda. It’s Boss Week at Girlboss and we’re unpacking this very question. Does a good boss look like someone who prioritizes flexibility and transparency? Someone who sets clear professional and personal lines and leaves their ego at the door? If you’ve recently been promoted to a management position and suddenly have a team of people relying on you for *everything*, you’ve probably had your fair share of “what the f*ck am I doing” moments. Well, you’re not alone. We hope that these stories make you feel more equipped to navigate this new (exciting) stage of your career.
That's also why we've partnered with our friends at Truity, the go-to destination for all things related to personality tests (like the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs) to create the ultimate "What Kind of Boss Are You?" quiz to help you define and understand your management style—what you're great at, what your blindspots are and how you like to show up for your team.
Based on the Big 5 Personality model and leadership research, the free quiz identifies eight different leadership personality types: The Influencer, the Visionary, the Innovator, the Muse, the Cheerleader, the Action Hero, the Giver and the Pillar of Strength.
So, which one are you? Click here to find out.
And don't worry, if you don't completely align with (or like) your results, that's actually normal, says Truity's founder Molly Owens. "Sometimes assessments get used in a clunky, prescriptive way instead of a dialogue.” The key is to go through the results with a critical eye, and to disregard the parts that don't sound like you.
