History of National Boss Day
We have a secretary (Administrative Assistant) to thank for National Boss’s Day. In 1958, Patricia Bays was working for State Farm Insurance in Illinois.
She took the initiative to register “National Boss’s Day” with the Chamber of Commerce. The reason she chose October 16th is that it was her father’s birthday (he also happened to be her boss)
In 1962, Illinois made the day official with a proclamation from the Governor, and in 1979, Hallmark adopted it as a day for selling cards. The rest is history, and the day is now recognized nationally in the United States and Canada.
Patricia Bays established the day because she wanted supervisors and employees to become closer and have a more relaxed working environment. Judging from the results, her plan succeeded.
How to Celebrate Boss’s Day
Today, there are many ways to acknowledge your boss and celebrate with her/him. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Boss’s Day:
1.) Begin by telling them how special they are to work for. This can be done in person, via text, email, or hand-written notes.
2.) Everyone chips in and gets a greeting card for your boss. Everyone should sign it and make sure not to leave anyone out.
3.) Donate to a charity in your boss’s name.
4.) Take your boss out for lunch, dinner, or a happy hour.
5.) Give them a small but thoughtful gift. If you know their favorite flowers, you can get them, a book, or a magazine subscription.
6.) Decorate the office like your boss’s favorite hobby.
Closing Thoughts on Leadership
Everyone always hopes they will have a good leader. We all want someone thoughtful, listens, and leads by example.
Managers need to motivate and inspire their employees to do their best work. It takes a special person to be a boss, and that’s why we celebrate them on their own day.
I hope you enjoyed our Happy Boss Day Messages.
