I have a few personal rules that I follow as a manager.
1) Never drink at any work function.
2) I am there Boss, not a co-worker. I can share some personal life information, take interest in there lives, but I can never be there confidant, best friend, or one of the group.
3) The two foot bubble. Never enter into that space. Shake hands and then back away to keep the comfort zone.
Following these might seem cold and distant but it allows me to manage my staff without them feeling uncomfortable around me. My job is just that, a job. A place of work, not a dating center.
