Professional journeys are full of obstacles that help us learn, grow, and excel. Sometimes a challenging project forces us to develop new skills. Other times getting out of your comfort zone and presenting a new idea proves to be a catalyst to advance.

Good bosses create an atmosphere that encourages creativity, trust, respect, personal growth, and professional development. They create an open feedback loop where great work is rewarded and issues are tackled head on.
Bad bosses, on the other hand, can have any combination of unfavorable characteristics. Perhaps it is a manager with a condescending attitude, someone who micromanages everything, or one who fails to give any feedback that could improve your performance.
