Five decades ago, Peter Cancro was your average 14-year-old wrapping sandwiches after school at his local eatery, Mike's Subs. Today, he's the billionaire CEO of Jersey Mike's Subs — but he still gets his hands dirty every now and then. At age 17, the New Jersey native had worked at Mike's Subs for a few years when he discovered the owner was looking to sell. He still slices deli meats and gets face-time with employees "every time I'm in a store," he said at the conference. The ability to be personable is a green-flag trait that good bosses tend to share, workplace culture expert Bonnie Low-Kramen told CNBC Make It last year.

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.

"I was a little short chubby kid [and] my parents didn't have a lot," Cuban recounted on the show. Learning the moves to show him he was competent, had rhythm and could quickly pick up new skills, Cuban said. "It really did [help with confidence]," Cuban tells CNBC Make It in an email. "It will be the person with high confidence and lower abilities who will get the job over the person with low confidence and higher abilities." "It was the best job ever," Cuban told sportscaster Jim Rome on a podcast in 2019.

"Confidence is serious business, and the single most important differentiator in the workplace," Low-Kramen wrote in her book, which published in February. Stop apologizing unnecessarilyFor many people, saying "I'm sorry" after certain situations, even those that don't require an apology, is second nature. This is especially true for women, Low-Kramen wrote. Rather than saying 'I'm sorry, we need to reschedule the appointment,' say 'Thank you for working with my schedule.'" Instead, "slow it down, lower the pitch of your voice and turn up the volume" to be taken more seriously, Low-Kramen wrote.

America has a problem, says Bonnie Low-Kramen: Many of the country's CEOs are losing their sense of humanity. Much of the problem stems from a lack of interpersonal skills, Low-Kramen says. Low-Kramen's fix, for any level of the workplace: Develop your soft skills. Three soft skills — the "three Vs" — particularly matter in today's environment, Low-Kramen says. The transparency didn't keep Hilton employees from feeling confused or unmoored at the time, but it helped provide them with a sense of stability, Low-Kramen says.
Bonnie Low-Kramen was the personal assistant to the actor Olympia Dukakis for 25 years. She shared with Insider how she made the leap into PA work, what it's like to work for a celebrity day-to-day, and how she pivoted into entrepreneurship. Good timing got her a role working alongside a starLow-Kramen with Olympia Dukakis and Dukakis' husband, the actor Louis Zorich. Prescription and dry-cleaning pickups are a constant request, Low-Kramen said, and it can cause unexpected issues. Today, Low-Kramen said, a starting salary for a celebrity PA on call 24/7 can typically hit the low six figures.
