Adecco USA released an interesting survey today about how people feel about their bosses. (National Boss Day is Oct. 16.)
The survey asked employed working adults which presidential candidate would make a better boss, and 54% of respondents gave the nod to Sen. Barack Obama. McCain got 46%.
People value a variety of different qualities in a boss, so it’s hard to pinpoint what drove the result. But if I had been asked the question, I would have also favored Obama. He conveys authority but also seems approachable, and he strikes me as a better communicator than McCain. Good communication skills, in my opinion, are one of the biggest hallmarks of a good boss.
But maybe we’ll see something different from them in the debate later this week.
