Horrible bosses come in lots of flavors, and they are typically easy to recognize. There is the overachiever who toiled in the office until 2:00 AM each night, passing out as their desk, and supposes everyone else should stay too. There is the controlling type who doesn’t communicate with their workers. There is the executive who delegates responsibility without delegating authority. There is the boss who always has inappropriate commentaries ready to fire from their mouths..

Life as an administrator in any trade can be a rewarding job, but it can also be a challenging one, but you must find the correct balance of approach-ability and authority. You will want to generate a good team-atmosphere while working to achieve the greater goals. So just how do you get that balance? Be sure you do your job well Foremost be sure you do your own job... Supervising people is not an excuse to let them do all of the work while you simply look-on. Of course, occa

Like lots of folks in our present dilemma, too much to do, with such little time, I have sensed my personal production fading lately. Across our industry statistics bear-out the sad fact that, in this respect, I am part of a movement: Output has plateaued. As a labor force, we rasped over the indistinguishable finish-line of last year. Unquestionably, there is bewilderment as to the explanations for this functional slouch, but in reality, why does it matter? There aren’t any

Companies are intricate things. There are a lot of people at work for them, typically. And by “a lot of” I mean more than just a couple. This generates politics and disagreeing schedules while also fueling the endless battle in the middle of forward moving and inactivity —with supporters on either side. Someplace in between all of this, an idea is sometimes born. A little lightbulb goes on through the managerial mindset and, against the odds, is successful in developing into

In these fast and increasingly furious times in which we live, with a news cycle turning like the exercise wheel of a hamster on speed, does Truth with a capital “T” still matter? Observers of the political and business scene may be forgiven for asking themselves this key question. And of course once that query is raised, the answer must come back loud and clear from all thinking citizens around the world: Of course Truth matters! It matters a lot! A civilization that doesn’t

Good news, team! After years of ­laboring under the oppressive thumb of entitled boomers and sad, slow-moving slackers, we, the millennials in this organization, have assumed control. Don’t worry. Nobody has been made uncomfortable, if that’s what you’re worried about. But there are going to be some changes around here. We thought you’d like to hear about them. As you know, our demographic doesn’t really hierarchies. So we intend to run this company as a unified Team that agr

What a great summer it was for people who love apologies. Every day was abuzz with outrage, all those righteous, angry people formed into the daily flash mob. It was rich, wasn’t it? Ryan Lochte telling a TV audience he was sorry for denigrating the good people of Brazil. How sorry was he? Not sorry enough! And Blake Shelton, expressing regret for those jokes he made four years ago. Jokes? Ha! Hey, even Donald Trump was obviously advised to apologize for ­something—he couldn’

Starting is Easy, Finishing is Hard speaks to the grind going on for many startups today, when the easy exit days feel as if they have gone and for many it is taking raw tenacity to finish. When you are the CEO or in the founding team of a startup the years are long. It feels as if it will take forever to get to the next stage of product, or growth, or market development.
