Do you suck as a boss? Inc.com has created a list of signs to help you discover if your employees can’t stand the sight of you and run in the other direction when they see you coming — in case you live in a cloud of blissful, mean ignorance, totally unaware what a giant jerk and bully you are to your workers.
My personal favorite from the list: Too many ex-employees:
“If your staff falls away like linty Post-it notes, ask yourself: Is high turnover the problem? Or am I?”
Of course, if you are a crappy boss, this kind of wussy self-questioning probably isn’t your style anyway. In that case, you might prefer the kind of advice found in the soon-to-be-published best-seller The Seven Habits of Highly-Effective Hitlers.
Finally, I’d like to present a word of encouragement to crappy bosses and their poor victim-workers everywhere. It’s a little motto that I live by, even had one of those trendy band bracelots made up special to always remind me of these wise, wise words:
Never Give Up…
Your Liver.
