Become a bad boss may be your best career move.
Become a bad boss
Conference room
we have been there. Your boss entered the room, you are ready to quit. You promised myself to go to the office, if the boss mention that thing, you'll stormed out on the spot to resign. Not to be seen or heard people; feels like companies, should be attributed to all the hard work that you pay.
Why do we have so many people have excellent work experience under the leadership of a bad boss? I am always a bad boss. I make my team feel frustrated and confused, constantly let everyone suffer they never meant to withstand the pressure.
As Penn Group President and CEO, I am one of the most confusing thing: that a person can completely subvert the ability of each person. I always worry about losing my team's prospects. In my career, I have been standing on both sides of the ball, my advice to you is to do a bad boss.
Leadership Paradox
As a leader, it is easy to become a demanding boss, need to respect the position. After all, you are the boss. Who can challenge you to do? Maybe it was not you. Maybe you are the kind who do not want to hurt the feelings of any leader. Maybe you want everyone to like you are. And Robert would be easier to talk, as he chewed his nails in front of everyone, than to make them feel uncomfortable. It would be easier.
It is easy to become the boss. Hard to be a leader.
In fact, as a leader, which is one of the world's most difficult task. I tend to prefer the latter's leadership these two examples of. I tend to be a leader of a restraint to ensure that people, feelings and self-preservation. Self, I mean my self. I want people to like me. I want to be the world's best leaders. In an effort to become the best leader I ignored the situation should be resolved. By trying to keep the relationship, I actually did not come further damage trust through my own challenges. I call this self-deception called "leadership paradox."
Leadership paradox: our nature is to avoid, reduce and transfer to protect emotional, and self-perception. Through these efforts, we are actually further undermine what we want to protect. We may ignore Stephanie did not attend the meeting to protect her feelings this fact. In fact, the morale of remaining staff team is destroyed, because they appear on time, and their time is not respected. From my team, I got my encouragement and tolerance of the product. If I do not fear of injury, then I might hurt everyone. Dialogue. Business. Otherwise, you might own bankruptcy.
When you are a great leader, you are a bad boss
in my career, I was the happiest moment ever worked for someone else, I have the confidence and authority to do I think that the organization of their own specific areas of most good thing. I worked most positive work environment and these characteristics are the same. This highlights an interesting paradox. In contrast, I have encountered in the organization the most frustrating thing is, when I'm not to be trusted or do not have permission to perform the work, particularly frustrating is that the boss tend to micro-manage every step. This is typical behavior of the boss. In most cases, the owner is responsible for the goals and targets, and measure how they achieve these goals. The boss often angry, some things not to do, and it is anticipated that you will be held accountable. It was a good boss.
If you are not a good boss, but a good leader, how to do? What's the difference? Rather than management objectives, but to motivate people. You do not need to micro-manage the project, and may authorize the team to achieve targets on time. You can feedback the team from the bottom, rather than angrily revoked sell. When I hugged be a leader rather than a boss, the biggest change occurred in my team efficiency. Make a great leader make you a bad boss. When to be a leader, you may be unable to achieve the target. When you are a leader, you will not be judged based on a percentage of output, but measured in terms of the value of the team. Leading the fight; boss to reduce the conflict. Leaders have the potential; reduce bosses hope.
If you are not a great boss, you will become a great leader? What's the difference? Not management objectives, but to inspire people. You do not have to micro-manage the project in the final stage, but authorize the team to complete objectives on time. Rather than rejecting angrily pushed back, would you accept feedback from your team. The biggest change my team productivity when I accepted a leader, not a boss. When a great leader make you a bad boss. When you are a leader, you may not reach metrics. When you are a leader, you are not based on a percentage of your output to judge, but by the value of your team to be measured.
Leaders fight, the boss to reduce the conflict. Leaders embrace potential; reducing the boss hopes.
Become a bad boss. Make a great leader.
