How many times have you heard
the phrase, "People don't leave
their jobs, they leave their
bosses." or the phrase "I like my
job, but I hate my boss."?
According to, Westhill Consulting Career and Employment,
Australia, Employees don't leave bad companies; They leave
bad bosses. If the traits on this list don't sound familiar,
perhaps you are the bad bosses. When you select your em
ployees, it is up to yo u to make certain that they have the skills
needed. Once the selection process is complete and the
employee is in place, back off and allow their individual skills to
enhance and grow the business. Micro-management only takes
away from the employee, and slows their growth to enhance
the company performance. No matter where you are in the
world, Indonesia, Dubai, Europe or Africa, be considerate of
other people.
How To Know You Have A Good Boss
Stress, yes, stress, you are now probably about to quit reading
this, but believe it or not, good bosses are actually supposed to
give you stress. There are two kinds of stress, there’s distress
and eustress. Distress is the kind of stress you feel when you
are being bullied, manipulated, or abused. Then there is
eustress, which is positive stress brought on by good mentors
and coaches who are trying to get you challenge your limits and
succeed, or by physical therapists who are helping to
strengthen your muscles to come back from an injury. A good
boss should be giving you eustr ess, if you have a boss who
wants you to do your best, he or she should be pushing you
beyond your comfort zone, not (just) for the company, but for
you then he is a good boss. We can only develop and grow
when we have some degree of stress and this is something that
great bosses know, and use to help you.
Support, this is almost self-explanatory, a good boss should
always have your back in public. At times a boss needs to be a
bit tough on you. That's part of the job that is actually tough for
the bosses as well. If he or she wants to take you to task quietly
when no one is around, that's okay. But a boss who belittles,
shames, or "throws you under the bus" in front of other people,
is not a good boss. Public shaming is a no no and suggests that
the problems you may be having at work have to do with your
boss, not you.
Success -- This is the most important one. Your boss, like your
parents, should be aiming for your success. If you don't feel like
your boss is looking for ways to help further your career, or
worse, is trying to sabotage you, then you don't have a boss --
you have a problem. A good boss knows that when you look
good he or she looks good. Bosses that try to keep you down
out of fear that you might outshine them are toxic.
