Sometimes, we all need a wake up call. If you are a boss or a manager leading a group of employees, read on to find out if any points are of relevance to you. If there are, you had better change it.
So many of the times, while talking to candidates moving from one company to another – it is obvious that management plays a big part in attracting as well as retaining employees.
Disrespectful Bosses
Being of a managerial level does not make you superior. Your title does not give you the superiority status, and if you want people to respect you – you just have got to earn their respect. If you think having the title make you superior, then you obviously do not deserve the title.
Everyone is working really to get paid and are not begging you to get employment so everyone in the company, regardless of title deserves the fair share amount of respect. If you respect your bosses more than your colleagues, then you should also be doing your fair share of reflection.
This includes your inappropriate humour as well, about your other colleagues. Be sure to check with them on whether they are affected by your jokes about them.
Unreceptive Bosses
If you think your suggestions are the brightest and most feasible, and other suggestions provided by others have their shortcomings and you are their harshest critics, you might want to think again.
Besides, it can be quite annoying when you keep boasting about how you have climbed the hierarchy and you might appear stupid when people question how feasible your suggestions really are.
Micro managers AND Lazy Bosses
The reasons why we dislike bosses who micro manage are self-explanatory. But what is worse is not a micro manager but a lazy boss who always pushes the blame to employees when certain tasks and responsibilities are not done well, when it should have been his duty to oversee things.
Bad role models
Ever had a boss who stress the importance of punctuality, but is always late? Why should I be early, when you are always late too. Why should you be expecting things on people when you are unable to fulfil the requirement? If the policy is important, should you not advocate this yourself?
