- “What’s going on” bosses – This type of bosses do not have any clue of whatsoever is going on in the organisation. They just live the day as it is and doesn’t plan for tomorrow. In the first place, how did he become the boss?
- Being stubborn – These bosses just resistant to any suggestions from the ground. They believed what they said are always right. They reject ideas from the staffs.
Avoiding things that are critical to the entire productivity of the organisation – The staff have pointed out critical improvements to the process to the overall productivity of the organisation. However, the bosses are resisting accepting the new proposals.- Shifting non-valuable work to the staff – Admin work are shifted to the staffs to do. You do not have a choice if you are the admin staff. However, if you are not, are you loosing the chance to do better things out there?
- Taking credit for staff’s work – This is the worst thing that can happen to a staff. Their credit is being taken away by their boss. What’s worst, not a single appreciation and acknowledgement is given to the staff. The staff may consider resigning the job!
- Keep talking about their family stuff – Self-centred series number one. The topic circles around whatever happened in your boss’s family. Such as kids going to school, how smart are the kids, how adoring is your house pet, how good is the nanny, etc. Please refrain from doing this, you will only bored people down.
- Keep talking about their experiences on (not anything) everything – Self-centred series number two. The topic circles around how good the boss is at handling things, how he learn things so fast, how he developed the new process that shaped the organisation, etc. The staff will know how good you are by working with you and not by hearing your stories
- Keep cracking cold jokes – Please do not torture your staff with cold jokes. They are put into the position to patronise your stupid jokes. Give them a break on this! If it isn’t funny, don’t even mention it. Your staff won’t be in a fix to find some means to respond to the dumb jokes.
If you are such superior, it’s time to review yourself as a superior. This goes for those who often take credits away from their staff! Give gratitude and acknowledge your staff’s work. Reward as and when needed. If you like to blabber about your own stories, remember that the other party may not be really interested in what you are saying. Find someone that is interested to hear it instead. This will at least bring the annoyance level of your staff down!
