Good Boss Bad Boss!
<span class="html-content"> <p>Everyone has an idea of what an ideal boss should be. Some people feel a good boss should be friendly, should be able to remember everyone's name, and should occasionally give bonuses. But then, is your boss Santa Clause?</p> <p>Others, like Machiavelli, believe it is better to be feared than loved. In other words, they want a boss who is rigid, says a few words, is very assertive, gives sanctions often, and spends lavishly once in a while. Well, I know it's sweet in the middle, so I think an ideal boss should be a mix of both. In fact, a boss should be a boss. I don't know if that makes sense! There's no one-size-fits-all approach to being a great boss. Your employer is not supposed to be your friend. He can be friendly, but it has to be limited to avoid seeing me finish. In the same vein, the boss has to still be human. I mean, he or she should treat employees as people and not as slaves. This is important because it directly affects the employee's approach to work.</p> <p>Whether you're tagged good or bad, just be efficient (applicable to bosses and employees).</p> <p>I believe that saying good or bad is just a way for us to impose our moral ideas on others. In fact, I think it's us being self-righteous, like we could do better if we were in their shoes. The crazy part is that most people want to be like their boss, particularly bad bosses! In other words, they want to become the very people they criticize. Mad thing now innit!</p> <p>What's your take on the good boss bad boss narrative?</p> <p>Learn Unlearn Relearn</p> </span>
Good Boss Bad Boss!
