The first step to becoming a good boss in a particular role is having an excellent understanding of the job and what is needed to be successful.  Without significant experience, obvious mistakes will be made and the boss's judgment will be questioned by subordinates. Therefore, it is important to define what qualifications your ideal candidate needs to have in order to understand and do the job successfully. For example, a sales manager should have several years of experience in sales and a strong understanding of the sales cycle and selling techniques. A sales team will not follow a sales manager if the sales manager has significantly less experience than other members. All teams run slightly different, even within the same company. In order to determine what type of manager the team needs, you should evaluate team's role, how long the team has been doing the same job, how members interact and how they are motivated.  Understanding how the team operates and what works best for them will allow you to find a boss with a management style that suits the team. When a team and their boss work well together, the team will be more successful as a whole. For example, if the team has been working together for 3 years, maintains good communication and its members can make decisions independently, you will be best hiring a boss that can be more democratic and work with the team to devise the best course of action in a given situation. A strict micro-manager in this circumstance will demotivate the team and should not be hired. It is important to understand your company culture so you can evaluate if a potential hire will fit in. Company culture includes, amongst other things, values, beliefs, norms and habits. It is the potential boss's personality and characteristics that will determine if they are a good fit for the company culture. For example, determine what type of personality will thrive in your company by asking the following questions:  Is the company laid back or fast paced? Is the company fun or serious? Does the company encourage new ideas from all employees? Does your company encourage professional development? Once you understand the type of boss you are looking for, place these qualifications and characteristics into the job posting. #*Be as specific as possible in the job posting writing, as this makes it more likely that the right candidates will apply for the job. Most importantly, you will have less of the wrong type of candidate apply for the job. For example, a sample job posting could be "sales manager with over three years of sales management experience, with proven ability to motivate sales professionals in a very fast paced environment."
