Posted by denised in A look at what the blogosphere’s saying about bosses this week…
According to Yahoo Finance, “the day of reckoning has arrived” for bad bosses - If only. Truth is, really bad bosses never read articles on bad bosses. They either don’t know or don’t care. Nevertheless, Yahoo asks, what kind of bad boss are you? Choices include poor preparation, lacking influence and not knowing your job. They forgot to include ‘jackass.’ Check out the complete list here.
Surprise, surprise…or not, pastors can be bad bosses too – In the post Bad Boss Pastors Who Drive You Nuts, the site Church Forward, lists several ways pastors drive their staff nuts including pretending they know better than everyone else and constantly checking their phone at meetings.
Ten Ways to Be a Better Boss – Over on the Rodg3R blogspot they propose 10 pretty effective ways to be a better boss. One of our personal favorites? Public praise, private punishment. Great advice, we wish more bosses would listen.
Management needs training too! – So why won’t anyone give them any?! The Training Time Blogspot is trying to change that. A resource for HR Managers, the article makes the excellent and sadly overlooked point that for bad bosses, “the right training at the right time could transform those rule-huggers and glory hogs into leaders.” Finally someone in HR is acknowledging this fact. We’re wondering though, what do you do if it’s the HR Manager who needs training?
