Firing a Bad Boss


"A lack of "trust and integrity" was the main reason employees would "fire" a boss, a new survey has found.

While a third of respondents to the poll, hosted by website badbossology.com, nominated trust as their main issue, 24 per cent would leave a micromanager. Other boss crimes were not providing development opportunities (12 per cent); not providing open and honest feedback (12 per cent); stealing credit for ideas and work (10 per cent); and not providing coaching support when needed (8 per cent)."

A friend once said, "People don't leave their jobs, they leave the people they work with." If there is one complaint I consistently hear from clients is that their relationship with their manager is the primary contributor to their job dissatisfaction.

For every poor management attribute there is a positive one, wouldn't it be easier for everyone, to be a great manager instead of a crappy one?
