It’s easy for bosses to get close to their employees, especially in a small company. But, no matter how friendly or comfortable you are with your team, there are certain things you should never tell you employees.
Here are the top five:

1- Never reveal anything told to you in confidence by one employee. To do so destroys trust, is disrespectful of that trust and ruins your ability to mentor and coach your staff, BusinessNewsDaily reported.

2- Self-praise.
Telling employees how smart you are needs to stop. Employees view bosses who exhibit this behavior as arrogant and condescending. It undermines motivation, engagement and productivity.
 
3- Disagreements with your superior.
A leader should never tell employees about any disagreements or personal issues among the management team. To undermine one’s teammates or your leader is political suicide. Once the management team agrees in a certain direction, then everyone on the management team must be united in moving the vision forward.

4- Do what I say because I’m in charge.
This is taking advantage of your title and level in the company. You can’t get your employees to do what you want just because of your title.

5- Your personal ups and downs.
To be an effective leader, you need to be able to put aside your moods, your doubts and the morning’s argument with your spouse in order to focus yourself and your team on reaching the company’s goals.
