Read College of Business Dean Lynne Richardson’s latest column in The Free Lance-Star: Bad Boss.
Dear Bad Boss,
Your staff complains about you. You’re a micro-manager. Or maybe you’re a detached manager, showing little interest in your people or the work they do.
Or maybe you put such pressure on your employees that they feel stressed all the time and hate coming to work. Of course, because of this, productivity suffers.
Maybe you have incredibly high expectations that are unachievable, especially because you either don’t know to hire or you don’t train your folks. There is no possible way for the folks in your organization to reach your ridiculous expectations.
Whatever the reason your folks don’t respect you, I want to thank you.
