A Sense For Style

You tend to see different management styles after a certain number of years at work.

Some bosses have it right or they are almost there and just a pleasure to work for. Unfortunately there are others who just don’t have a clue. Still there are others who are delusional about their own management style .. and makes the office such a toxic place to work in, dont you agree?

Ever met a boss with Napoleon’s I come & I conquer viewpoint? Or one who enjoys telling you what/how to think that you cant even have your own opinion about anything? What about someone who talks at length about any subject but don’t make much sense to you? & the one who’s almost nonchalance about anything & everything?

On the other hand what about the boss who appreciates you as you are and understand your limitations? And the one who looks after your professional development?

I wondered about this subject because someone lectured us like naughty little children in a meeting when we didn’t respond to the questions asked. We are mature adults with intelligent mind, pretty extensive experience and an ability to communicate efficiently. Did the person who asked the questions wondered why the questions were not answered – well, small considerations like is there something wrong with them ie ALL OF THEM or is there something wrong with me..?


Common sense and management style do go hand in hand - I thought that is a given fact..
