Top 10 mistakes that bosses make
7 - Not providing a clear picture - Transparency
Many times work is assigned by bosses to employees without clearly telling them the complete picture. Boss should always maintain transparency with their employee to make them understand what exactly they are doing. "If bosses start informing their team about the correct scenarios and maintain transparency about a project, then the employees will work more willingly and meeting the deadline will no longer be a concern of the boss alone," said Juilee Joshi, who worked as a Technical Support analyst at BMC software.
8 - Insecurity about their post
Some bosses prefer to do things alone rather than taking teams help as they are unsecure that someone will provide better solution, and thus they get a sense of insecurity about their post. "There is something unique about Indian bosses. They get this superiority complex about their position and I fail to understand why. There are many extremely capable folks who like to remain in the 'individual contributors' role because they do not enjoy people management," said Balaji. "You can deal with an egoistic boss, a demanding boss, an impatient boss... but the worst kind is the one who is insecure."
9 - Trying to be friend as well as boss or showing partiality
This is the trickiest part of the boss-employee relationship. Some of the bosses try to maintain a perfect balance between professionalism and friendship but it does not always work well for the company. Employees might become lenient in submitting at deadline or boss might start expecting too much from employees since they are good friend as well.
Another part of this equation can be showing partiality or favoring certain employees over others which create negative vibes in the team.
10 - Making fake promises
In order to motivate employees many time managers make fake promises of promotion or goodies but when the time comes they just stall it. This de-motivates an employee a great deal and might backfire badly on the company.
There are many other mistakes that bosses commit but we felt that these are the top ten reasons. You may think differently and have your own reasons. We would like to hear the top mistakes that your boss makes. Do let us know.

1: Boss some time think that I am god and every
thing is in my control. But the correct thing
is that he is god because of his
supporters/coworkers/staffs works in good
faith if the staff dont work in good faith
then he never become the supreme one. If he
think this one and direct his other co
workers as that thay may be the one of them
who create the buildings of
...............Then the bossnever hitler.
other wise he is ..............

mistakes as the boss preferably or act as the
employee if I too get money, name and fame as
the commercial with naukri or any other
similar campaign as the ad is really "SUPERB"

3: Hey readers, Don't blame these Bosses . Blame
the syetem which made them Boss without
proper training, development and grooming or
even giving a clear role and responsibility.
Most of the organizations speaks about a fool
proof evaluation system but leaves most of
the employees with some decisions. Bosses
after becoming Boss also forgets their past
and the goal . They are actually lost and
that's why they behave irresponsible.

7: After reading the article I really feel pity
for all those Boss who are wrongly abused but
they are the part of the corporate society
without whom or we can say without their
stren nature they are many lethargic people
who cant even step a single step and keeping
this aside when we talk about those people
who work hard sincerely and seriously but
still get betrayed by their boss is quite a
different task.Let the mind be free and let
us develop the true atmosphere of corporate
instead of simply using the sweet term of
being working with the corporates.
Boss never shout at others unnecessarily lest they are not provoked to do so.

8: A transformation in corporate leader\'s
personality leads to change in
organozation\'s culture. Some spiritual
qualities are needed to be devloped for
better understanding of corporate culture.
These qualities help an individual to develop
an insight. When inculcated in day to day
life these spirituals traits are very helpful
in harrassing the inner potaintial & to
inspire others\" these views of Dr Pranav
Pandya can be really effective in our daily
life. Complete & perfect life style with
disciplined way of developing personality
potential should be in priority.

Manager who is reading it, must
introspect.....

11:I also agree with you. One more point needs
to be added that is about "FAVOURism" or
"BIASism" on the basis of region, cast so on.
The manger blindly support his own people and
gives many types of opportunity in spite of
not capable of....which in turn make others
frustrated and disheartening and affect on
productivity growth.

12: Very insightful article.
It is needless to mention a boss is taking that chair based on his/her talents , and chair has to be respected.
A professional boss is objective in dealing with the employee.She/He uses carrot and stick at appropriate ocassion to get the organisational objective/goals achieved.
The labelling of a boss from worst to excellent , happens when this balance of approach is lacking. It much be noted that many bosses absorb the pressures from the superiors modulate them to make it amenable to the subordinates , so that they take the right actions towards achievement of the goals/objective.
A rapport offline is important between both sides to understand each others motivation levels ( Maslows pyramid ) without crossing the "lakshmanrekha" of objectivity

15: That's great information. I am BOSS in small
company having 15 Employees and found that
not always but once or more I made all the 10
mistakes. This article will help me to
improve and take best of my employees.
Atleast I can look into myself and improve. I
have read few comments and just wish to say
to employees:
1. Boss is Boss because of certain qualities which you should learn to get success in long run.
2. If you are hardworker, you will definately become BOSS one day and that day just try not to do what you hated being employee.
3. If anyone has been promoted to BOSS from employee, he/she will find that many a times when he considered his BOSS wrong being employee, he himself was wrong. When you become BOSS you have different approach and responsibilities.
It is same as being child we many a times say our Parents are wrong but when we become parent, we come to know the real picture.
Very little example, If child wants to touch hot surface of Gas or Oven, parents will never let him do even if he cries. He will understand only when he becomes parent and not otherwise.
4. Many posts where employees did their best but did not receive rewards, I think the best reward is that you learn to work hard and improve your capabilities which will pay you entire life.
BOSS is not GOD who will read each employee's mind and solve all the problems.
I have also been working under BOSSES since I started working and have noticed their mistakes so tries to not to commit with my employees but again One person cannot be perfect in all means, if he is he is either SAINT or GOD.
Best wishes to all.

17: Someone said that Indians are being kicked
out of Aus.
I work in Aus with many Indians, Sri Lankans, Chinese, Vietnamese etc. No one wants to kick them out. They are usually competant and fit in well with all the other mixture of ethnics that make Australia a great place to live. People all over the world are the same and want to contribute to the business that employs them and sends their kids to school pays for food and leisure. One of the biggest problems is that the indian accent can be hard to understand, particularly over the phone. I recommend english speaking courses and slow speech.

18: Truely the above quality as cited about a
boss means a wrong person at wrong place. A
boss is a person who is a good leader, &
knows how to guide his team to achieve the
organisation's goals. He/she should have be
patient but one thing, always goody will ruin
the team, he should always use the right
approach i.e. shout when required &
pamper when required. This what I've seen
about my ex-boss in last organisation i
worked, scolding & appreciation was as
per the performance. In short a good boss
should be good motivator & HARI of the
naukri Ad.

21: Apropos the 10 point article published, may I
bring to the kind notice of the readers that
these are probable points and it solely
depends on the readers how they take it.
Nevertheless, there are always two ways of
opinion. One - it could be considered as a
constructive feedback to relate to one's
profile, two - it could be taken in negative
stride, filled with ego and just ignore, let
go. I believe this article has reflected most
features which we as bosses undergo. What all
I can say is Bosses too are humans and
mistakes are inevitable...there is no perfect
boss. Having said that...it does not make
sense if a boss does not try to improve upon
the same.
Posted by: Sanjeev Jopat - 19 Feb, 2010
22: Most of the reasons (i.e. 1 to 7) posted are
right and i'm the best example i can say.
Bosses don't realize that they were also
reported to someone who was as his boss once
upon a time.
Posted by: Sree Lakshmi - 19 Feb, 2010
23: This is not only in the IT industry but in
most of the organizations. Agreed, the bosses
are wrong but these days one do not find the
right candidated for the job too. The
candidates who come looking for a job become
sort of complacent when they are given the
job, they start taking things for granted and
sometime create a situation in the
organisation where the particular employee
posses himself to be indispensible. It is a
human tendency and particularly in India,
when the boss becomes more inclined towards
his team few of them think the boss is
incapable of doing the task which is why he
is so 'friendly'to the employees.So in a
nutshell it is not the boss who is always
wrong but the share goes to the staff as
well.A good manager is the one , whos
presence is felt even when he is not around.
And he should be the one to lead from the
front.

28: Indian bosses are nothing more than mere
puppies. Its evident they promote people of
their types and this is the problem. No boss
I have seen so far in my 6 years of career
having the guts to accept the challenges
openly about the decisions they make. I have
always encouraged my subordinates to come up
with the questions if they have doubts,
initially they felt I was bluffing but when
some of them really came up with ideas I
applied the same and now every saturday we
have informal meetings sharing and taking
ideas from them and guiding them to enhance
their skills as per my knowledge that has
resulted in 5 promotions from my team in span
of 7 months. So its true if a subordinate
has an issue it should be solved in a time
frame after all I believe they are the real
one who are generating my salary. So I have
to take care of their every issue whether
personal or official.

30: I am agree all these things, but what happen
when a manager is doing all these things,
provide all resources, spent time with
employees, provide facilities to the team
members which never happen in the company for
those team, organizing parties for them,
motivating them time to time, bring them
together for team work, ask for their
increments to management and they pissed on
him. how will you define that? Will these
rule wrong that time?

his job ...! coz no productivity?
Maturity should be shown at both ends, you cannot always make comfort zones for your sub-ordinates.

32: This might not be true with many cases in
india,i miss working india as i am employed
in dubai. Attitude and level of thoughts of
bosses in india are more broad when compared
to bosses here in arabian countries. All the
above points are applicable to bosses here...
Posted by: shaji - 17 Feb, 2010
33: Lets be precise, the problem discussed here
is a bit exaggerated in terms that we are
trying to generalize the individual traits of
a person to a fraternity of people.
Leadership styles are different and are bound
to be as per the individual's personality
traits.At some or other point of time
everybody gets a chance to show their
leadership skills and become a BOSS.

all these the employer need to take
independent support to analyze the situation.

start implementing.

42: Employees today don't know their place as
they did back in the 1950's thru the 1980's
like I know it. Something is wrong with the
employees these days and NOT with the
employers. If employees continue to be
unhappy because they never learned with
employment is all about then bosses will give
up and let all those employees go out and
make their own businesses (which would be a
lot harder to do). That article is just junk
as far as I'm concerned.

This article is really useful. This is human nature that we are not happy with the present circumstances. When we are kids, are not happy with parents and teachers. When we are employees, we are not happy with BOSSES. When we are BOSS we are not happy with EMPLOYEES. But that does not mean that we are right at all times. We should improve where we lack and should not be worried what other thinks about us.

44: Atleast my boss understands all these
things!
The position where our bosses are , they cant expect any faliures, they have to see the company first.
Employees become selfish! they want every benifit by doing as little work as they can (see how u r increasing profits for company)
The performers never look at the darker side, they see an opportunity and personally bosses likes employees to commit small mistakes which train them to be a better employee.
Not all bosses are the same, yes! some are arrogant, but since u have seleced that job and u have sold ur time to the representative of the company, u have to do wht they demand admit that they need some respect also that they are more capable than u.
Bosses need not always be right! u can suggest in a decent way about the solutions, keep ur boss in confidence.
Dont be a yes man!
B urself!, Be a performer! understand the goals of the company, the workculture, and work accordingly!

45:Hi Rohit, very well said.
I agree that employee shoud not be a yes man and he should be himself, a performer, understand goals of the company, workculture and should work accordingly to get success one day.
I have been ignorant many a times about the performance of my staff who is not directly working under me but it is not always. Top management comes to know one day about the performance of lower staff and leaves no stone unturned to promote and appreciate the performance of staff members. It has happened in my company many a times. I have no idea about BIG Corporates.

I do agree with you Rohit, but most probably Bosses dosent want to listen to their employees views even it is correct. This is the first thing that they don't want to work on the employees vies and ideas, you know why? Bcoz they are boss and we are their employees. But On the platform where employees works they know very well the situations and how to handle that situation at the particular point of time. But Bosses always interfere in the case and make it complicated and harder to manage it.
The best way to work is just give the target job to the employee and let him finish the work with deadline in a professional way. Thats it.
Can any body tell me what exactly boss wants from his employee

but actually not.
If we just give the target job to employee and let him finish the work with deadline in a professional way, we will ruin the company as employee's professional way may not been good enough and correct always. BOSS just wants the work to be done with their expertise.
When an employee will understand all the professional ways to get the work done with his strategies independently and succeed in that, he will not remain employee and will become BOSS. That is the different you will learn and understand when you will become BOSS. Children can understand their parents only when they have kids and not otherwise.
Keep doing your best and you will become BOSS one day and understand all these. But just don't forget that day the problem faced being an employee and let your employee's not to face same problems from you.
Best wishes,

55: In view of all the comments it proves that
bosses have no sentiments & are being
much selfish & insecure. They are being
very much fearful with their subordinates who
deserve more qualities than bosses. Fearful
boss see only mistakes in their subordinates
& on the basis of those mistakes they
dominate their subordinate & satisfy
their ego. Management should learn first
lesson of emotions & do work making team
feelings as both are only servant of the
concern & do work for the organisation
not self satisfaction or self ego. Official
atmosphere should be like a family respecting
& caring all the members of the concern.
For growing the concern emotional
satisfaction, paying respect to all,accurate
evaluations of the employees without
partiality & giving opportunities to all
deserving officials/officers must be created
in the concern otherwise these problems can
not be abolished. Management will have to
learn the same otherwise management will be
changed by force of nature. Common willing
powers can do all impossible things.

You might have got the bitter experiences. Five fingers are never alike. If you tell about your nationality, I may be able to search and give you examples where your nationality people did worst with other world and when they did best for the world.
you seems to have little experiences of life with which you concluded about 2nd largest populated country citizens in one line.
I have understood from 20 years experiences in my life that every body in this world is greedy and selfish, when it comes to your own life, family, job, culture and friends.
If you just commented to get your irritation out it is alright, but if you want to share your experiences and learn something good discuss and ask in detail about problem you faced. There are thousands of experienced readers here who will guide and teach you.
I have been living in Australia for the last couple of years and never found this kind of problem anywhere.

64:Indians most passionate about jobs: Survey
15 Feb 2010, 2002 hrs IST, PTI
NEW DELHI: Indians have emerged at the top when it comes to being passionate about their jobs, with a full 72 per cent employees surveyed being
confident about their personal growth and future of their companies, a survey has said.
According to the survey by global HR solutions provider Kenexa, the global average for being passionate about jobs is is 56 per cent, while this is topped by Indians and at the bottom is the Japanese employees with only 41 per cent of them being passionate about their jobs.
As many as 72 per cent of Indian employees surveyed are passionate about their jobs. Indian is followed by Brazil at 63 per cent, Canada at 60 per cent, the US and Germany 59 per cent each, and Saudi Arabia and Russia at 58 per cent each," says the survey.
Indians are passionate about their jobs, when their skills and abilities are put to good use, their company supports work/life balance, have confidence in the company's future, have opportunity to improve their skills and are recognised for their work.
"Similar to romantic passion, workers won't put up with a miserable relationship with their employers for long. As the economic outlook continues to improve, it would behove leaders to'play cupid.' Elevating an employee's passion for his/her job will keep employees happy and committed, even when other attractive opportunities come their way," Kenexa Research Institute's Brenda Kowske said, while releasing the survey findings.
Bottom line - Greed, is required to succeed and therefore we INDIANS supersede..

answer should come from one person 'BOSS'.
Its true from all BOSSES behaves very rude
with their
sub-ordinates. First I hate the word BOSS, just say TL instead of BOSS. By saying the word BOSS he acts like a marfia gang leader inside the Team
that means he is not perfect leader. From over all comments I can list out some important points on the Super Natural Element (BOSS) in the Team.
- Showing partialty inside the Team
- Motivating only selected people in the team
- Some BOSSes will do the delivery fast if they get TREAT (like taking to Bar/Hotel) from the respective person. Actually that is not a TREAT its
CORRUPTION inside the organization
- Excepting more from the sub-ordinates without helping them
- Knowledge sharing is the new concept used in current industry
- Following unnecessary Process and not working for delivery
- Spending more time with management instead of team members
- Most of the team members saves BOSSes job not individuals
- TL should consider team members idea
- Before going to take some steps inside the team he should concern with everyone
- Before moving a person from one team to another team internally he should check whether he/she are interested or not. This was not happening
anywhere
- All BOSSes thinks they are king of the team. They forget they are also a servant for the organization
- Not giving equal opportunity to everyone in the team
- No freedom of decision making
- They should be true to the team members instead of giving fake reasons
- TL should be a good friend to the team members
- Many people quits becoz of the BOSSes not becoz of the company
- Management should keep an eye on all BOSSes
Will continue more....

As per me it is noting more than work and life balance. You can have good friend in office too with whom you will always be in touch throughout your life doesn't matter whether you are in same company or not.
Some people try to be professional and try to create some gap with their peers, subordinate which does nothing more than that they spoil the environment and having always some tension in their mind and don't enjoy their work.
So by this everything is perfect professional

pays off at last.though i would mention that
sometimes people give big responsibilities to
the person without knowing his capabilities
,and then bla,e him for the failure,I
strongly consider this as insincerity ,and in
such cases BOSSES should track the
progress,and finally take the
responsibilities ,this way they can motivate
the subordinates to take new challenges.

78: If most of the bosses make similar mistakes
in dealing with their subordinates then the
focus should be on developing leadership
skills. A good leader not only inspires and
motivates all team members but also
empathizes with them.Being strict or lenient
may depend upon the situation or the attitude
of the subordinates. All bosses need to
understand the difference between
aggressiveness and assertiveness.

another.whenever they needed, say-let do some
brain stroming. A junior gives a good and

his senior and gets full credit.At the time
of apprisal, approval is awaited from
management.As far as his own appraisal is
concern,that done 15 days before.why So

89: It is all very nice to criticize the boss
while at work. Being one my self, I would
like to think that I have been empathetic,
caring and have always tried to see things
from an employee point of view. I have
trusted employees and given them adequate
freedom of action with the proviso that they
give results at the appropriate time.Trust
and autonomy are however, double edged
weapons. Most employees misuse the trust
reposed on them and try to take the
organization for a ride. It is the committed
few that make the organization function
effectively.Consider this- you all will one
day be bosses - then maybe you will
understand the constraints a boss goes
through.
Somebody has talked of a military atmosphere in the office- while that is certainly not desirable, employees themselves should possess a modicum of discipline in their dealings- if they do not, then discipline has to be enforced either by example or through some coercion.An organization can ill afford not to be collectively disciplined in case it is to succeed in its endeavours

94: As quoted rightly all the above points...some
bosses even go to the point of one man show
and immediately putting the blame on sub
ordinates for the failure...leading to a slow
poison of mass forced resignation (or
termination as those bosses with there core
supporters coin it). At times it becomes more
pathetic when the Hr, supposed to be a
neutral dept becomes an ally of the top boss/
deputy top boss creating -ve vibes and
baseless destructive office politics but
perking for themselves handsome salaries
rejecting those who earn the least in that
system and themselves quiting the
organisation. These incompetent month on
month high salary takers who has/had done
nothing except sticking to the system as an
advantage against unfortunate forced quitters
must be trialled by making the 'mistakes' as
fundamental crime through constitutional
amendment to stop exploiting the public
& private (mostly) sectors and the
careers of millions.

98: For my boss, management is all about
"Intuition and anticipation" ...nothing else
matters
We call him with different names .. MoM was the favorite
We also call him the delivery boy ... for him "all deliveries are painful"... wonder if he takes all the pains (god save him!)
He was also called the "Highly paid sniffer dog" for his work on micro management (point # 1)
off course .. snake was his favorite (point # 9 second para)
One of the basic reason why bosses behave this way is due to his basic feeling of insecurity (point # 8 well said)
point #10 is his all time favorite ... he asks ppl to work on weekends by promising them of comp-offs ... but when it comes to turn of subordinates to take comp-offs he says that "Its morally and ethically wrong to ask for comp-off (somebody please teach him morality)

100: I agree strongly that the most worst thing is
insecurity of the bosses,as its hard to deal
with such....in my company i did every thing
to create comfort in my BOSS ,even sharing
all my credit,thinking that after a while
when he feels comfortable(may be he was a
thrown one from somewhere) ,i can look for my
part,but it worked like spoiling a brat,he
never wanted me show up anywhere when it
comes to credit,and literally expressed his
anger if i did so,saying that he is there to
save my gains. Second thing i would lik to
mention is that BOSSES showing friendliness
could be dangerous as they can be bosses at
times & friends both according to their
needs.

104: I agree with the author on many counts. Many
times boss does not even know the capacity or
capabilities of his employees. In order to
know it, one must undergo such challenging
assignments. But normally boss assign such
work to blue eyed johnnies only. Other don't
even get a chance to prove their metal.
Other thing is clear and complete communication. Boss assumes many things and expects the results accordingly and the employee is totally unawre of the expectations.
Fear of failure by delegating makes the boss to do things himself and his subordinates never get chance to come up.

105: I had been General Manager in a company. I
have observed that many bosses show
unfriendliness or disrespects to
subordinates. Bosses shall be trained first
on how to behave with subordinates so as to
win their confidence. Many MBAs and HR
managers too remain dictators to staff. I
would always blame the bosses for failures on
the part of their staff. If they had duly
motivated the staff members
with due respect and guidance, there will definite increase of productivity at least by 25 to 30 percent.The bosses should groom themselves into efficient mentors or 'guru's.
For any deviations in the growth of productivity, I would always identify the fault with the managers first and not with low level employees. Low level people shall be ever treated the most wanted workers. Only then, the productivity rate grow steadily.

but in almost all industry in India. Eg I was
working in FMCG Company and Welll Known MNC
famous for its foods and Beverages. My boss
was arrogant, Idiot,Ruthless like Hitlar and
Venmous he hails from GOA.He never motivated
the employees,no guidance.leading through
Indimidation.He was just an Regional Sales
Manager but now he has raised to level of
Head Mktg South Africa.Because the TOP boss
who was a english men at that time in India
was too an Idiot to the core.No Jokes. So

113: Very Nice article...I am sure all of us have
faced atleast one point in time a situation
where you find a manager in an offensive
role...I think every company should be very
careful in choosing a manager,they should not
look at somebody's experience in the
field..and make a manager but should judge by
their emotional quotient,overall
wellbeing.Otherwise some frustrated boss can
wreck up not only his reputation but also the
company's name...and live as a thorn in many
people's mind!I have had an experience where
I had chance of meeting this stereotype HARI
SADU...

114: The worst mistake a boss can make is to have
double standards for work- one for his/her
favourites and another for those not in
his/her favour. Sometimes the favourites are
only ingratiating subordinates who agree with
the boss to gain advantages but do not
possess the qualities that are required for
excellence

lies in middle level management ,these guys
come with decade old values and do not
understand the current trends in the industry
.. Not willing to take any challenge and what
starts of as an strategical position
initially finally turns into complete
tactical way of handling not only work but
also humans ..
Obviously they cant afford to be ransparent and authentic .Unfortunately there is no way of dealing with these guys as no matter where you move you will find the same ones.Only way of overcoming this is that you become the boss urself.

Few bosses are good. they promote ur work and
ur intelligence. On the other hand, many
bosses always dominate their subordinates to
show the authority(which is of now use to
themselves) which their bosses have given to
them. Specially in IT industry, the main
criteria for any boss is that he should be
very dominating or else he can't survive. So
sick!

no exception to this. The mistakes
highlighted in the article are all a means of
retaining the power. Bosses who do not know
how to grow in the organization or who cannot
create an opportunity for themselves tend to
commit these mistakes. I have seen both good
and bad bosses. And most bosses tend to turn
bad when they do not outgrow the position
they are currently in.

How will you find an ideal person in your organization?
How to decide growth path under these situations?
Quitting is not the option always....

144:Dear Shivaji,
Your concern is very valid. But let me assure you that not all bosses are that way. Infact getting an excellent boss of your expectation is like having a wife/children of your taste, which is purely accidental. What I did was I visualized what type of a boss i would like to have and slowly started behaving like I visualized, which is very effective. Ultimately allowing somebody to pull your strings or not is purely in your hands and not necessarily you should dance to the whimps and fancies of your boss. Over the period of time when you become one this imaginary effective practice will become a reality where you will set a trend/ be a role model of being a very effective and emphathatic boss. By the way, when you yourself are the answer to the search there is no need for your to search for any ideal person in your organisation. Hope this should give some hints on handling your current situation.

146: I believe, bosses should always motivate the
employees and give them good guidance both in
terms of work as well as in terms of career
path,so juniors working under him will give
their 200% for atleast that boss,even if not
for the company.
Secondly, boss should always understand that everyone knows that he can do all those jobs well,that is why he has been promoted to that position. His responsibility is to get the work done by team and focus on bigger picture,he should always give his team the desire credit in front of top management, because if juniors get promoted, he himself will automatically get promoted.
He should not be Hitler, because now a days bossism is not that much effective because there are lots of jobs available in the market.
Another major mistakes which bosses do is that they create a problem in front of employee who wants to quit as for example not giving relieving letter, demotivate him against new company, stop his last month salary etc etc. They should understand that invidual will exist irrespective oof companies existence in future.

Always look for the larger picture . My simple suggestion,enjoy your work and live your personal life fully. Nothing else will matter much in long run.

167:Dear Phani,
What you said is 100% correct...
as you see the comments above there are some exceptions of bosses...
but others have learnt from their bosses...
or scared of losing because of their incapability...
a person really capable of things will never bother and will be the same as today...

168: You might have been lucky to have good
bosses. Otherwise, you'd realise that most
incapable people rise because of bad bosses
and capable people ultimately quit for better
options.

169: Should wenot look at the situation from
Boss's point of view, If some one is a senior
employee he has his openions formed on
certain previous experiances. he is normaly
treats his juniors based on the openion he
holds in his mind, and if his treatment is
taken as his mistake then "GOD SAVE THE
BOSS", remember Bossd is always right, better
introspect yourself then to find his
mistakes.

170:Arvind, the writer failed to mention the 11th
& 12th mistake they do and its blaming on
another, and the 12th is a stubborn attitude.
There is no doubt u belong to that
category,God save ur subordinate! just
change afterward and put a big contribution
to this revolution in increases the employees
credibility and 100% utilization of the
resources available to the company and the
ultimate growth of the company.And of course
learn the proper man management strategies!

171:The article is good. But consider this:
Everyone writes what type the boss is & what is his behavior with sub-oridinates & other team members. Nobody mentions why the boss is what he is today. Look, any one who is new in his career is always enthuastic & has a aim to do something great. But this desire goes phut, when he climbs the ladder up & starts bossing with these 10 mistakes. This he learns from his bosses & their bosses & their bosses & ultimately either Family business owner OR Minister in GovtPSUs who are the ultimate bosses. So we do not need IIMs, what we need is to correct this ultimate bosses.

174: i agree on these points i feel that boss will
remain boss, he / she will never be friends
of the subordinates/ fellows, this is
possible in TV advertisement standing infront
of boss and calling him / her by such types
of words, accoding to me bosses always having
this fear that if they will become friends to
their fellows they might have loose their
position.
Posted by: Reena Shrivastava - 14 Feb, 2010
175:this is not correct reena if boss is doing
this and he lost his possition it means he is
not capable of his post,becaus boss must have
some extra knowledge/experiance than his
subordinates/ fellows.

176: That may be a reflection of how he/she was
handled during initial careers... The T&D
function of HR should focus on creating some
kind of on-job-orientation for the bosses to
handle situation...

177: Yes, even I support that bosses in India
treat there employees like bounded labors.
Whatever managerial technique they apply, Its
in there blood “the Bossism". They feel as
if they are paying from there pocket even
though corporate pays, there employees. They
do partiality among team members when there
are lady employees.
After all why do we need boss!!!

179: Bosses are very aggressive these days, they
do not even care of employees feeling,
sometime in companies it feels that employees
are not the part of the company, they are
just a servant, to whom they pay , so that
work should be done by them. I am very much
agree with micro management term. This can be
seen easily, sometimes boss behave very rude.
This things should be avoided, then only the
employees will not think for job change.

181:I don't believe this is true, while I'd agree
with the attitude of Manager's in the US and
Europe, Predominantly bosses in India behave
like treating subordinates as bonded labours
without caring for their personal life by
calling any time without a reqest, rather an
order to get it done!
I believe concept of Indian management is not yet upto the mark and perhaps this attitude is changing in some good MNC's, however mostly we fail to produce good quality managers leading to incompetent, insecure managers who DO NOT allow employees to grow
Also, I m deppressed by the way India decision making is ! perhaps slower than ever while a good employee would have take a decision but suppressed without being able to bring ideas to the table due to lack of suppor from the Managers

185: No one here is talking about how sub
ordinates behave. In IT, while the market was
booming, the team members would disappear and
fly over seas. There are so many of them who
like surfing the net and chatting on phone
most of the times. Typically they will part
hard over the week ends and have hang ups on
Mondays.
I agree Indians dont make good managers. As they are made to multi task unlike manager in UK and US. We are a poor economy. We need to work more for lesser money, only then we will be be able to increase exports.The manager is expected to get more work done than a manger in US and UK.
Like some said in this trail, the bosses today were also team members during their carrier. They are also aware how much their subordinates curse them, coz these bosses would have some the same in during their initials years. These so called bosses are also working under constraints from the management and customers.
I believe its unfair to make any conclusions about bosses or subordinates. This topic is debatable. All those cursing their bosses today, please become good bosses and prove yourself. You will realize when you take up that position. As some one said here, like life today and enjoy your work.

186: Bosses need to handle a team successfully.
Scientifically it has been proven a team
excels when put under pressure, it’s not
just the James bond finishing off the task
just before the movie ends/bomb defuses, and
such trait is available in all human beings.
Some times if you believe that you are being
asked to do too much and given too little
time or resources it’s up to you how you
handle your boss and convey him the message
that it can’t be done in a logical
convincing manner and stand firm. If you
can’t do then it must be that nobody in the
world can do it---present such a scenario.
If you can’t show your importance, your value addition to the company to your Boss and moderate his behaviour then consider that you have a long way to go and grow up.
Ultimately remember “Nobody is your Boss but you’re your own” he just takes your inputs modulates and disseminates it to higher authority. You’re indispensible but your boss is not. You can excel and survive without your boss but he will struggle like hell without your inputs and dedicated work. Wake up kid!
