The worst habits of 11 kinds of bosses

Michael Scott, the boss of the office in the American TV series, set an example for leaders to learn what not to do-for example, Macko Scott employees in conference rooms, letting them know that work is better than prison. Although his incompetence has a certain authenticity, but the reality of the truth is often more interesting than imagined.

So when I was going to be a boss in my own new company, I borrowed from my former boss, who was a real-life Macko Scott, and I summed up the reason why 11 causes work to be negative. I hope that, just as Martin Luther had nailed the article to the wooden door of the cathedral of Fort Lauderdale and revealed the guilt of the Holy See, you put these declarations of leadership to the whiteboard of your company's management. You can also send these to his or her inbox when no one is paying attention.

1. Change your mind. Change your mind several times a day. In reviewing the report, it is important to make a contrary comment. Let employees guess. Thus raising their vigilance.

2. Make sure employees don't know what's important to you. You try to get the best job results, that's all. You don't want some things because they don't matter, they cut corners. Everything is important. Always be.

3. If you don't like it, you just don't like it. You don't have to explain. They just need to do "better". If you give them too many instructions, how do they learn? For example: "I don't know what you want me to give you, all you have to do is make the slides ' more attractive." ”

4. Let employees attend all your meetings. But do not let them speak because they do not speak, so they must listen. They're like a tape recorder that reminds you of the meetings you missed as a result of dozing off.

5. Thank your staff-but only to thank them for their skill level efforts. "Thank you for being here today." "The expense report is written beautifully." "At the beginning of the staff meeting, thank your intern staff for binding your documents."

6. Schedule all staff meetings weekly, and ask half of the staff to come to you. Schedule: report to you about their recent emails, and you're too busy to read the emails. Do not report other new content.

7. Allow skilled staff to take time out of the work program to help you install your home computer, preferably when the maid is at home. Ideally, let them help you deal with your child's ipod malfunction.

8. Agreed to the deadline and then requested that it be completed ahead of schedule. Ask loudly in the corridor whether the document can be ready at 4:59. Announced: "If you want to get everything done, today I will be very late to leave the office." ”

9. Arrange for "very important" meetings in the days before Christmas, and select some staff at all branches around the world so that they are required to attend. The boss was late for the meeting and decided to meet again on January 2 to "put an end to the outstanding issues".

10. Email at 2 o'clock in the morning. And it was in Sunday. Mark the message as urgent.

11. Be careful not to be too immersed in helping employees achieve their goals. If you support their development too much, they will leave and look for new jobs. This is not a good way to manage.

What's your situation? Have you ever met a boss who has behaved like that? Do you feel guilty about this behavior? Anything else to add?
