Bad Boss? Don’t explode – The recession has thrown an alarming number of under qualified bosses into management positions. How do we survive them? Cindy Krischer Goodman over at Workplace Violence News (yes, there’s a place that features news about workplace violence) has some suggestions. I’m not sure if all of her suggestions would have worked for me, but I’m definitely feeling the “create your own positive environment” idea.
What Great Bosses Know About Staying Calm in a Crisis – Great bosses know their emotions are contagious, they work hard at keeping calm under pressure and they’re the exact opposite of really bad bosses. Forward this link to your favorite really bad boss. They might learn something.
Do you learn more from working for a bad boss than working for a good one? – Bob Sutton weighs in on the matter. I’ve learned a lot from both good and bad bosses. But there’s something about the bad boss lessons that stick with me, probably because I never, ever want to do what they’ve done or become who they are.
Facing down big, bad bosses – 37% of U.S. workers have been bullied on the job, and bosses make up 72% of the offenders. Workbabble.com has some suggestions for dealing with these bully bosses. Really Bad Boss guest blogger Buck Hamilton’s series, Managing the Meanies, does a great job of analyzing bully boss behavior. Check out a new installment in the series every Tuesday here at reallybadboss.com.
