In the world there are a great many professions that use a variety of skills. Of course, all of them are important and necessary, as the famous proverb says. But many people, regularly celebrating, say, the Day of the builder or chemist, scientist or teacher, forget about such a professional holiday as Leader's Day. Yes, do not be surprised: the ability to be a good boss is one of the most important in any team!
Bosses Day
This date is celebrated worldwide annually on October 16th. Leadership Day is a holiday for leaders of all levels: from the lowest level to the president. After all, it is so difficult to manage people so that they feel comfortable enough, but at the same time carry out the necessary procedures and instructions.
Celebration history
Historically, the very idea of ​​holding events of this kind belongs to the Americans. The desire and need to celebrate the Day of the leader of any level appeared in the middle of the last century. According to legend, a resident of the United States Patricia Haroskey in 1958 registered the "Boss Day" in the Chamber of Commerce. And in 1962, the celebration gained national proportions (Illinois). The date of the celebration was also chosen not by chance. October 16 is the birthday of Patricia's father, for whom she worked as secretary. From that time to the present day, Leader’s Day has spread throughout the world, and it is actively celebrated in Europe, the United States, Australia, and Africa. In recent years, leader’s Day has been given close attention in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus.
Leader's day greetings
As already mentioned, in Russia recently it has been customary to celebrate this date at almost every, albeit small, firm, not to mention larger enterprises. What is supposed to be done on this day? Usually, employee subordinates agree in advance on how their bosses will be honored. The initiative group draws up an action plan, collects money (participants are discounted for a gift and a banquet or corporate event, if accepted). In small enterprises, “folding tables” are common — each brings home a salad prepared by himself, for example, or another dish. If the company is solid, then a banquet is held on this occasion in the hall of a restaurant or cafe. If it is not customary for the company to celebrate in this way, then money is simply collected for a gift to the boss on the day of the leader. Poems and flowers are attached.
What to gift
Many employees are faced with the problem: what to give the boss on this day? To do this, of course, you should first study his preferences and habits. A good option is the boss’s hobby, if you know what he enjoys in his free time: fishing and hunting, scuba diving or skiing, for example. But here you need to be careful: there is a chance to give a person what he already has. So you should ask in advance. Difficulties arise, as a rule, with the new bosses recently appointed by the leadership. After all, no one really knows how a person lives. Then a good way out of this situation would be a gift for business: an expensive representative set-organizer, electronic gadgets, know-how that help in business, and the like. If your boss has a good sense of humor, then you can give some cool gift (the main thing here is not to overdo it). The best gift at all times is considered to be a handmade gift: a picture, composition, expensive crafts, souvenirs. And, of course, flowers (especially if a female boss) and praises in verse and prose, decorated as letters, passports, presentations or wall newspapers.
Happy birthday greetings to the leader
If the boss has a birthday, you cannot do without a worthy and memorable gift! Usually, an initiative group or a specially selected person collects funds from all employees, without exception. It is better to collect money in advance and with a margin, so that there is time for choice and purchase. Again, the problem is: what to give? Best of all, if your boss has long held the relevant position, and you have managed to talk enough with him and find out his range of interests and preferences. Then the best option would be presentations from the category of "hobby" or "business class". Happy birthday greetings to the leader are drawn up in verse. For this, in a large team there will always be a homegrown poet. In extreme cases, you can delve into the Internet, but just don’t choose too harsh: it looks vulgar and vulgar. It is better to take something original and unpretentious than a too ornate congratulation in poetic form. Be sure to enter the name and patronymic so that the message looks personal. Do not forget about the flowers: for a good middle-aged boss, for example, a gorgeous bouquet of roses as a symbol of love and appreciation. And for the male leader, carnations or white lilies.
