Managers spend their days recognizing and uplifting their teams – but when was the last time we returned the favor? National Boss’s Day is a reminder that even leaders need to feel valued for their energy and effort they put into driving success. After all, managers can make or break your job experience. A great boss doesn’t just lead – they invest in your growth, support your goals, and create a positive environment that allows you to thrive.
National Boss’s Day (October 16th) was created by 1958 and serves as an opportunity to express gratitude for the countless ways your boss contributes to your team’s success. A thoughtful gesture can go a long way in making them feel appreciated and motivated to continue leading with dedication.
Lagina Evans, RN has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Optim Medical Center-Screven since 2021 but has been employed with the hospital for 28 years.
