It's easy for bosses to get close to their employees, especially at 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:

/*What not to tell:* Confidential information. – Jeri Denniston,
Certified Strategic Management Professional for the Haines Centre for
Strategic Management <http://www.hainescentre.com/>/

"Never share anything told to you in confidence by one employee with any
others. To do so destroys trust
<http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/1195-employees-dont-trust-bosses.html>
, is disrespectful of that trust, and ruins your ability to mentor and
coach your staff," Denniston said.

………………………………………

/*What not to tell:* How wonderful you are. – Maynard Brusman,
consulting psychologist and executive coach at Working Resources
<http://www.workingresources.com/professionalbiography/>/

"Telling your 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

Brusman said.

/*What not to tell:* Disagreements with your superior. – Barb McEwen,
master executive coach and organizational strategist for 20/20 Executive
Coaching Inc <http://www.2020executivecoaching.com/>./

"A leader should never tell employees about any disagreements or
personal issues amongst 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," McEwen said.

/*What not to tell:* Do what I say because I am in charge. – Joel Garfinkle,
founder of Garfinkle Executive Coaching
<http://www.garfinkleexecutivecoaching.com/>/

"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," Garfinkle said.

/*What not to tell:*/ /Your personal ups and downs. — Tricia Scudder,
founder of /Executive Coaching Group <http://www.executivecoachgroup.com/>

"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," Scudder said.
