If You Spread The Bad Boss

If you want to be a bad boss, what do you do if you do not have these advantages but have some shortcomings? Do you laugh and laugh two times and then endure? Complain to the high level, find opportunities to escape or do you want to do something else? Let's look at the following two examples.

Sheila is a promising manager in a famous manufacturing company. A few years ago, the company called her to form a team to invest in emerging companies and introduce new technology into the company's supply chain. Because it is a small project, Sheila's leader, managing the supply chain's boss, does not pay much attention to her. However, her team attracted the attention of CFO and CEO because of the series of services provided by the company, so they did not contact with them frequently. Unfortunately, the success of Sheila and management has attracted the envy and worry of the boss. In the second year, the boss stopped the introduction of more resources, gave Sheila a poor performance rating, and went out to say Sheila was "not good at management". Finally, Sheila's boss disbanded her team and let her do it alone.

Howard has great potential as a manager in a large declaring science company. In the past two years, a leading analyst team has been leading a performance report for the business department. But when he introduced a new leader in financial development analysis, Howard did nothing wrong. The boss criticized him for doing things the wrong way, belittled his team members, stirred up the right and wrong between him and his business unit (their customers), and could not hear anything. When Howard could not bear to work with his boss and could not bear personal intimacy with him, he was harshly "hard to wait" and needed to "re examine" whether he was suitable for doing this. work 。

Obviously, these two examples are a bit extreme (although I have many similar examples to mention). However, it can explain how a bad boss can make his subordinates unable to breathe and how to feel uneasy. If Sheila or Howard complains to other senior leaders at the same level, the situation will not only worsen but also prove the so-called "difficult management" and "hard to serve". If they resort to their concerns in HR or management, they may be labelled as troublemakers or difficult. Administration The labels of subordinates. But if they do nothing, they will be miserable and lose their respect for them. It's a dilemma.

Fortunately, there is still a choice. Though not necessarily effective, it is worth a try.

First, wait for the past. Bad bosses may like to play tyranny and end up being tortured by others, especially when they find it hard to treat others. The key is to ensure that the people at the top and bottom can see that you are still doing things while doing the job well. Many times, the bad boss's behavior is obvious to all, and no complaints will be seen as a positive performance. In time, bad bosses may be more self destructive and dishonest. As a matter of fact, Howard's boss is like this, and is finally marginalized by his own people. Howard ended up with a senior position in the company.

The second way is to find a way out from inside. Regard it as a new look at yourself. Career Work life priorities and how to define opportunities for success. When there is nothing stimulating and forcing us to think about our trajectory, we follow a certain road, because it is more comfortable, though not the most suitable one. A bad boss urges you to think about what you want. The situation that Sheila encountered was that the confusion brought by her boss prompted her to think about building a new company with her many years of established contacts. In the long run, his boss pushed her in another direction.
