Boss’s Day History
The concept of a special day to honor bosses was introduced in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski. She was working for her father at his State Farm Agency in Illinois. So enthralled by his hard work and dedication to his employees, she introduced the idea of “National Bosses’ Day” to the United States Chamber of Commerce. In her observation, it did not seem clear to younger workers that their supervisors were dedicated, committed and hard working individuals. She felt their dedication needed to be realized and appreciated.
Boss’s Day is special time to honor someone who is not just a boss but rather a mentor and someone who has your back. A person you can feel comfortable asking for guidance and someone you look up to and admire. In other words a true leader. In the words of H.S.M. Burns, “A good manager is a man who isn’t worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him.”
Celebrating Bosses’ Day can be fun and rewarding for the entire team. Below are some creative ideas:
- Bake a cake – Not everyone can bake but if you join in with the whole team perhaps you can jointly put together a very tasty treat. Plus have some team fun and for a good cause. Of course you may want to make sure a dessert is okay for your boss. Not all people eat dessert for health or dietary reasons.
- Team thank you card – Often a card that is signed by the entire team and is thoughtfully selected to represent the fine qualities a boss possesses, is very impactful. To add meaning you can also create hand written notes by team members reflecting their personal views on the great contributions of the boss.
- A gift – Most people, bosses included, like to receive gifts. Survey the team. Find out everyone’s thoughts on what boss might like. You want to be sure the gift has symbolic meaning expressed by those that look up to and admire the boss for her or his unique leadership style.
- Award ceremony – Create a simple awards ceremony. Involve the team in the planning and make it fun for all. Plan the event when it least impacts work flow but make it long enough to be fun. You can create short speeches about the boss and even come up with small awards. Some noteworthy accomplishments could be, Best Dressed, Coolest Boss Ever, Funniest Boss, Boss that drinks the most coffee in a day etc.
- After work celebrations – One great thing to get people in a more relaxed mind set is to organize a celebration at an offsite locale. Perhaps a popular restaurant or favorite sports bar where everyone can leave their work personality at the office. You can even do a night of bowling or pool and have team competitions. Of course make sure the boss wins. All jokes aside this is a great way for people to really interact with each other and the boss. Learn more about each other and build a strong bond.
- Create a thank you video – How much much fun would it be to create a thank you video for the boss. Every company has those employees that love to be center stage and make everyone laugh. With all of the modern electronics at our finger tips, creating a short video is easy. If you can get IT to approve it, perhaps you could post it to You Tube with a private setting and then on bosses day have the link available on the company intranet. Imagine the surprise and delight your boss would have with that welcomed recognition.
- Potluck party – Have everyone bring their favorite dish that they are proud of creating. Feasts are spectacular events that bring joy. Your boss will be delighted that the event is being held in their honor and more delighted to sample all the goods.
There are countless other ways to celebrate Boss’s Day. The Penny’s By Plaza Flowers professional floral designers will be happy to assist you with a lovely plant, flower arrangement or tasty food basket for your boss.
