It is often said that anyone can become a boss but it takes special type of personality to become a great leader. While I do believe that certain individuals take to leadership easier than others, becoming a great leader that your team can depend on is something that can, in fact, be learned and perfected.
We’ve all had them; managers or supervisors that struggle with anger management issues, those who can’t handle stressful situations and those who tend to take out their frustrations on their employees.

The phrase “work-life balance” tends to get thrown around a lot in today’s job market as a crucial and integral part of what job seekers are looking for in a career.

The word balance inherently gives the idea of there being a trade-off associated with your work life and your home life. According to Bezos, this should never be the case if you are to be successful and happy in all aspects of your life.
