2 things you should know about bosses...

This was the amount of workload I had this whole freakin' week!!!
*
Have you encountered bosses who are so into themselves, that every freakin' thing is wrong about you. From the way you eat, the way you dress, the way you walk, the way you talk......everyting is just freakin' wrong (notice I use freakin' a lot as a substitute for #!$$%!).
*
2 things we should know about our bosses :-
*
item 1........THE BOSS IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!
Sad but true. If you happen to have a boss who is understanding, takes ideas, gentle and compassionate.....then good for you. If you don't, then welcome to the club. I've read somewhere from the net, that in order to be a good boss, there are 5 ways you can achieve that (so that you don't end up like your current boss!!)
*
1. Know your employees. You have walked the talk and understand what your subordinates are doing.
*
2. Care about your employees. You have to understand that each of your employee has a unique character, abilities and differing circumstances.
*
3. Pay attention to grouses, feedbacks and complaints. There are reasons for the complaints unless of course he/she is a nut, and complaining is a part time hobby.
*
4. Be fair, and no favourites. Your rules and regulations are to be made across the board.
*
5. Be accessible. You're the boss from 9 to 5, but after working hours, try to be in your employees' shoes. Be one of them some time.
*
*
*
and secondly, if you know your boss is wrong for whatever reason, KINDLY REFER TO ITEM NO 1 - enuff said. Your working place is a hell on earth.

Ai-Ling said...

i agree with lisa. some bosses are there to lead others, some bosses are there to boss others :)

That's why you must not work for somebody, you must be the boss yourself! Then you are always right! Haha!

Calvin Soo KJ said...
