Have you ever had a bad boss? If this doesn’t apply to you, then there’s no need to read the rest of this column. … Interesting, you’re still reading. Over the course of a career, most people describe having had at least one bad boss. But what makes a boss a bad boss?
A colleague of mine, Dr. Steve Arneson, recently released a book entitled, “What Your Boss Really Wants From You.” Steve speaks to large groups of managers, serves as an executive coach, and lives in Colorado. He wrote about leadership development in his first book, “Bootstrap Leadership.” His just released book, “What Your Boss Really Wants From You,” is about what you need to do to promote your relationship with your boss.
How many of us have spent time whining with co-workers over coffee or a beer about our boss and how he or she is making our life difficult? How many of us have made a hobby of updating friends and peers about the latest bad interaction with the boss? At the end of the day, Arneson says, you are wasting your time. If you and your boss have an uncomfortable relationship, then you are going to have to find ways to make it work.
Arneson in his book describes three areas of focus:
