The great room — to the left of the entrance — consists of a dining area and a living room area. This inviting space boasts hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, a 14 foot ceiling with ceiling fan and a handsome gas log fireplace with an impressive stone mantle that extends to the ceiling. The great room also has two walkouts: a sliding glass door to the grassy backyard and a door to a side veranda with balustrades. The side veranda has fantastic views and also accesses the backyard. The dining room enjoys a huge arched window that overlooks the city and hardwood floors with inlaid border. Through an arched doorway — straight ahead of the entryway — is the upscale kitchen, complete with a casual dining area, hardwood floors, and rich dark cabinetry to include a built-in buffet and slab granite countertops. The stainless kitchen appliances include a microwave, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher and a Dacor five-burner gas range. Additional amenities include wood blinds, a pantry and a sliding
glass door to the covered back patio. The back patio has incredible, unspoiled forest and mountain views; and is perfect for barbecues and entertaining with its gas line and cedar ceiling with two ceiling fans. Off the kitchen is the attractive elevator with convenient access to all floors. A large laundry room with sink, tiled floors, closet, tiled counters, folding shelf and white cabinetry accesses the oversized five-car garage. Also on the luxurious main level is a powder room with hardwood floors and pedestal sink and an office with carpeted floor and closet. The home is equipped with central vacuum and a radon mitigation system, and is wired for a security system and a sound system. At the top of the stairs, French doors lead to the master bedroom, which offers a gas log fireplace, ceiling fan and a walkout to large Trex deck with more outstanding mountain views. From the bedroom, another set of French doors access the master bath, which has tiled floors, a double-headed tiled shower and raised dual vanities with slab granite countertop. The jetted tub in the master bath has an overhead spicket that lets water fall from the ceiling, as well as a cozy arched fireplace with gas logs to
enjoy while soaking. Off the bath, there is a walk-in closet with built-ins. The second master suite waits just down the hall. This bedroom features hardwood floors, crown molding, a gas log fireplace, a ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, bookshelves, a convenient coffee bar with refrigerator and direct access to another sumptuous five-piece bath. There are two more bedrooms on the upper level. One bedroom has a private tiled bath. The other has a sliding glass door to the back deck and a private in-room sink. This bedroom has easy access to the second master bath. Heading back down the carpeted steps one reaches the spacious walkout basement. Here there are nine foot ceilings and a big rec room with gas log fireplace, built-in bookcase and large wet bar. The wet bar area has tiled floors, tiled countertop, wine cooler, dishwasher, microwave and a refrigerator with icemaker. The rec room also has two walkouts: one to the front patio and yard; and another to a covered side patio and yard. Off the rec room, there is a theater area that is wired for a projector. Also on the lower level is a powder room with tiled floor and pedestal sink, a guest bedroom with walk-in closet
and private tiled bath with shower, and a utility closet that houses two furnaces, two hot water heaters and instant hot water. Completing the basement level, there is a storage room that was designed for a future bedroom if ever needed. This area is plumbed for a sink and has been framed for a door into the adjacent bath to create a Jack-and-Jill bath layout. This home has it all in one of the most
opulent neighborhoods in Cheyenne Mountain District 12.

Learn how to inspire loyalty, dedication and yes – happiness – in your employees.
How to be a great boss BY KATE ASHFORD MONSTER.COM
Being a good boss isn’t just about delivering results or even producing award-winning work. It’s also about hitting another important corporate goal: employee retention. And for the people who work for you, it’s about having another reason to achieve greatness at work — not just for the company, but for you. That being said, about half of workers have left a job to get away from a manager, according to a Gallup poll. In study by work-happiness company Woohoo Inc., when employees were asked what factors cause bad days at work, the top answer was “a lack of help and support from my boss.” But what if you’re the bad boss? Not only does it keep you from moving up the ranks, but it could cost you talented employees, not to mention future job opportunities. Follow the strategies below to keep your work team happy — and on the job.
BE CLEAR ABOUT YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Few things frustrate workers more than feeling like they’ve given their all, only to be told that they didn’t deliver what was expected. “Employees want to feel a sense of accomplishment,” says Nancy Halpern, an executive coach with KNH Associates in New York City. “And if you don’t know when you achieve that, you’re never successful. You’re always left wondering.” So before you assign new projects or tasks, be sure to set clear expectations, and follow up with emailed instructions, if necessary. Then, schedule regular checkins so that you — and they — are on the same page.
BUT DON’T MICROMANAGE
Setting expectations doesn’t mean
managing the process of the work. Let your employees know what you want from them, and let them deliver it — even if you think you could have done a better job yourself. “Yes, you could do it yourself, that’s why you got the job of boss,” Halpern says. “In doing it all yourself, you’re soon going to reach capacity and explode. You’re going to get resentful and take it out on your people, and they’re going to leave.” Sometimes helping people grow also means letting them stumble, so let them make mistakes — and then learn from them. “You can’t expect perfection, but you do want growth,” Halpern says. “Some failures are okay. Your people aren’t going to learn anything if you save them at every opportunity.”
DEVELOP YOUR TALENT
Employees are often loyal to managers who help them advance their skills — and in turn, their careers. “Many bosses are so busy trying to get the job done, they do not take the time to engage employees around their professional growth and goals,” says Tammy Gooler Loeb, a career and executive coach based in the Boston area. “If they were to be more supportive of their employees’ growth and development, they would have a much better chance at retaining those employees.” So encourage your team to attend industry conferences and take courses to improve their skill set, and give them challenging work that will help them develop those new skills.
FIND OUT WHAT MOTIVATES YOUR WORKERS
You’ll be a more effective boss if you adapt to your employees, rather than expecting your employees to adapt to
you. (If they’re good employees, they’ll be trying to do the same thing.) Some people on your team crave autonomy. Others respond well to regular feedback. Some will want to have a very formal relationship with you, while others work better when they feel like they’re your peer rather than in a hierarchical relationship. “(Adapting to your employees) means understanding who they are as people in order to be the right kind of boss to them,” Loeb says. “Some bosses do this, but many don’t, and it can lead to poor communication and messy dynamics.”
GIVE GOOD FEEDBACK
Your workers can’t improve their performance if you don’t tell them where they’re going awry. “I am staggered by how fearful managers are to give feedback or say something that they are afraid is critical or will be viewed as critical,” Halpern says.
If something isn’t working, tell your employee it isn’t working, and let them know how they can improve.
BE GENEROUS WITH PRAISE — IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
“You should recognize someone for the effort they put in,” Halpern says. “They stayed late, they made it their number one priority. It really balances out (any negative) feedback.” Nothing makes employees feel better than having their hard work acknowledged, especially in the day-today, while they’re grinding it out. They’ll be happy to keep hitting tough deadlines and burning the midnight oil if they know their efforts are appreciated. You can send a quick email to acknowledge long hours or great work, and be sure to single out those efforts in group meetings where their peers and your superiors can hear you singing their praises.
REMEMBER THAT YOU’RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER
Just because you’re the boss, it doesn’t mean you know everything. “Even if I have more field experience or technical knowledge, someone on the team is going to have better-honed interpersonal skills or computer skills,” says Lewena Bayer, author of “The 30% Solution: How Civility at Work Increases Retention, Engagement and Profitability.” “If, as a boss, I choose to recognize that everyone brings something of value to the table, and we can all learn from each other,” she says, “this helps build positive culture and trust.” Good bosses are team leaders, not dictators. Try to bring that spirit of inclusion and shared effort, and your employees will want to be part of your team — earning more wins for the boss they’re proud to support. ■
