Step back for a moment and ask yourself: What is her motivation? What is his underlying goal? What is her story? Why do you suppose he behaves this way?Īsking these questions doesn’t mean you condone the bad behavior. The bad boss doesn’t have your best interests at heart, or anyone else’s for that matter. Talented employees who put their needs ahead of their colleagues and the company are dangerous. Being challenged might feel uncomfortable, but that's a good thing, as long as communication is respectful. The boss who regularly challenges you with stretch goals and sets high standards is not what I mean by a bad boss. Now, let's set an essential caveat about bosses. Stealing your ideas and taking credit for them while pressuring you for more ideas.Stirring up discord between you and other team members to keep you off center.Changing direction abruptly and frequently, before you have a chance to complete the last task.Driving unrealistic goals and expecting you to work an unhealthy amount of hours.Shaming you or team members publicly for mistakes.Bullying you or using coercion to gain compliance with ill-formed or unethical ideas.Throwing tantrums when things don’t go their way.He or she will display one or more of these behaviors: Just in case you don't have that boss now, it's crucial to have the right tools and resources for managing the less-than-perfect or flat-out awful boss of today. I hope you have a great boss who sets clear expectations and trusts you to do your best work.
