Letter to Boss

To : My Irritating Dumb Dumb Boss,

Smart bosses learn that life is easier and results better when they respect and take care of their employees. Dumb bosses usually start by making dumb assumptions. Here are ten of the dumbest ones:

1) Assuming that they are smarter than the people who report to them.
2) Assuming they can delegate responsibility for results.
3) Assuming that employees don't know what's going on.
4) Assuming they can keep secrets.
5) Assuming they are entitled to special perks.
6) Assuming they can get away with abusive behavior.
7) Assuming no one notices their dumb moves.
8) Assuming they can get away with sloppy work.
9) Assuming no one knows they're insecure.

And you clearly shown 8 out of the 9 behaviours. You sure scored with flying colors.

Best Regards,
Your Ever Smart and Witty Brainy Staff

I bet most of you will be nodding your heads as you read this... aren't your bosses so similar to the above...... Weeeeeeeeee!! Kekekeke!

The bottom line is Employees are endowed with intelligence and common sense that their bosses often seem to lack. Smart bosses remember what it was like to be one of the troops, and take special care to nurture their relationship with them.

In the army, officers are reminded time and again that they must first attend to the needs of their troops before taking care of their own. This is the essence of leadership because, after all, Leadership is just caring made visible.
