Good Boss versus Bad Boss
How would you feel if you called in to work sick and your boss sympathized but asked when the project you were working on would be finished? If you like most people you would feel guilty about calling in and wonder if you should head to work. How about if you called in sick to work and your boss sympathized and told you to rest up and feel better soon? Would you still feel guilty or would you cuddle down in your bed to rest off the sickness? When comparing the difference between a good boss and a bad boss the perception is largely based on the opinion of the employees.
Bosses come in all shapes and sizes, young and old, male and female, and even good and bad. They are in the position because of very unique circumstances individual to each person. Some bosses have worked the way into the position by starting at the ground floor, learning not only the company policies and product but also how to be a boss. Other bosses are hired into their position because of previous experience or an education degree. Either way, a boss is in the position because he or she has valuable knowledge for the organization and has proven to have leadership skills necessary to fulfill the job duties.
Bosses constantly have to make decisions for the good of the organization; some of those decisions are one’s the employees will not like. A good boss will take time to determine the best form of communication would be beneficial, anticipate how the employees will react, and prepare for the questions that will be presented. A bad boss will not think how the decision will affect the employees only him or herself, therefore the presentation of the decision will appear one sided. A bad boss does not take the responsibility of having a part of the decision-making and will blame other leadership members. The method in which decisions are presented to employees is critical to gain the support and acceptance of all employees.
