How many times have you heard

the phrase, "People don't leave

their jobs, they leave their

bosses." or the phrase "I like my

job, but I hate my boss."?

According to, Westhill Consulting Career and Employment,

Australia, Employees don't leave bad companies; They leave

bad bosses. If the traits on this list don't sound familiar,

perhaps you are the bad bosses. When you select your em

ployees, it is up to yo u to make certain that they have the skills

needed. Once the selection process is complete and the

employee is in place, back off and allow their individual skills to

enhance and grow the business. Micro-management only takes

away from the employee, and slows their growth to enhance

the company performance. No matter where you are in the

world, Indonesia, Dubai, Europe or Africa, be considerate of

other people.

How To Know You Have A Good Boss

Stress, yes, stress, you are now probably about to quit reading

this, but believe it or not, good bosses are actually supposed to

give you stress. There are two kinds of stress, there’s distress

and eustress. Distress is the kind of stress you feel when you

are being bullied, manipulated, or abused. Then there is

eustress, which is positive stress brought on by good mentors

and coaches who are trying to get you challenge your limits and

succeed, or by physical therapists who are helping to

strengthen your muscles to come back from an injury. A good

boss should be giving you eustr ess, if you have a boss who

wants you to do your best, he or she should be pushing you

beyond your comfort zone, not (just) for the company, but for

you then he is a good boss. We can only develop and grow

when we have some degree of stress and this is something that

great bosses know, and use to help you.

Support, this is almost self-explanatory, a good boss should

always have your back in public. At times a boss needs to be a

bit tough on you. That's part of the job that is actually tough for

the bosses as well. If he or she wants to take you to task quietly

when no one is around, that's okay. But a boss who belittles,

shames, or "throws you under the bus" in front of other people,

is not a good boss. Public shaming is a no no and suggests that

the problems you may be having at work have to do with your

boss, not you.

Success -- This is the most important one. Your boss, like your

parents, should be aiming for your success. If you don't feel like

your boss is looking for ways to help further your career, or

worse, is trying to sabotage you, then you don't have a boss --

you have a problem. A good boss knows that when you look

good he or she looks good. Bosses that try to keep you down

out of fear that you might outshine them are toxic.
