One common type of good boss really sticks out from the rest, says workplace culture expert Tom Gimbel: the people person.
Traditionally, good bosses have skills in areas like time management, constructive criticism and simply being able to help co-workers through day-to-day tasks.
"The more authentic you are, the more people are going to connect with you and enjoy your company," Gimbel tells CNBC Make It.
Here's how you, too, can become a "people person" at work, experts say.
Sharing stories with the people around you shows that you want to build a relationship with them, and reminds them that they can "laugh a little bit and enjoy our work," Gimbel adds.
