And what may boss's wiggeries change in his life? There are some most prevailing bad habits of a typical boss. When a director believes that juniors should be scolded for every wrongdoing and words of praise are not essential, in future his reporters will avoid assuming responsibilities of complicated projects to keep out of inevitable reprimands. If a boss minimizes dialogues with employees they will not feel at liberty but left to their own devices which results in losing interest in their work. Unmeasured monitoring employees' actions deprives people their ability to work on their own. If a boss expresses all his concerns and casts doubts out loud his juniors may lose self-belief. When a head praises one group of employees and criticizes another or their hobbies without altering them, the staff members will be divided into two hostile sides. There are several types of bosses can be distinguished. A martyr always does everything for the sake of his business. He works on Christmas Eve; he doesn't stay home even if he has a pneumonia. He works till 9 p. m. without expecting extra pay. Is it possible to compete with him? No, it is not. It's better report to him. It's more than likely that he will continue working after going on a pension, so you'd better learn to get on well with him beforehand. Bosses-bowlers believe that they will gain object if only they bowl out: louder, better. How do such people become bosses? Of course, thanks to some hiring managers who equal blatancy with leadership skills. All such bosses want is being heard, they want acknowledgment. If you manage to find common ground with that kind of a boss and gain his respect and confidence, then you probably will be able to assure him that he needn't speak so loud. People do what their redoubtable boss tells them because they are afraid of him. He threatens and intimidates his employees to make them easygoing. Such bosses always have rapid turnover in staff as on the one hand they dismiss people and on the other hand good specialists leave their job as they don't want to work for a monster. Such bosses usually don't settle on one place for a long time. In the end they will want to fire all the staff and the company won't agree to that. In general wielders are very smart and dangerous. They always have a hidden agenda. They regard people as a means to an end. He can step over anybody on his way. If you work for such person be careful. The best policy is honesty and outspokenness. He will be impressed by it as he forgot how the truth is told. A mixed-up boss is not brainless, he merely may lack some pieces of knowledge. Perhaps he started working with this enterprise not long ago and he is unacquainted with used technologies or for the time being he cannot get into the swing of the work on personal grounds. That person may be a good boss, but for the moment he is off the rails. The best way to agree well with him is to help him, teach him the things he doesn't know. You will be surprised how rapidly he will get on the inside and he will thank you for that. You could get a common hobby. A boss of an old school likes the good old times and thinks that everything was better then. But if he got stuck in the past he would not be able to work in the present. Though he resists any changes he knows a lot and can contribute to a company's development. If he is able he will gradually get accustomed to impending changes. Be patient and remember that "new" is not necessarily "the best" and try to explain it to your boss. For a supreme boss suffering megalomania the most important thing is power. In his office there is a wall for framed certificates that verify his regalia. He takes outrageous liberties, for example, to wash his car he may appoint a special man. Rest assured that his mightiness is just a way to hide his own incompetence. Don't take him seriously and pretend that submit him.
