“I like being a boss.” — Joanna Coles Quote

I like being a boss.

Managers have to demand more of their HR departments, and they have to demand more of themselves. And we all have to be open to hiring people that don't look like us and that don't sound like us, and not find that threatening.

I don't like the word 'juggling' or 'work-life balance.' You prioritize.

It's fun working with smart, young women.

I grew up in the north of England - 200 miles north of London, in a relatively unsophisticated place. And I craved magazines as a way of finding out about the future, about the life that I wanted.

It's the people who are more insecure who feel the need to control and micromanage. But that's true of any profession and hierarchy with a boss. You have people who know you are competent enough to do your job, and then you have the ones that just hover around.

Some days, I get overwhelmed and a bit breathless... I've probably cried at work, but I'm limited with my crying: I'm the boss; I'm not really allowed to cry at work.

I've had a boss like that, where the things they're saying and doing are awful, but they say it and do it with a smile on their face, which is almost more damaging to you. Because then you think you're crazy!

In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.
