The mean value of the ‘Nasty Boss’
CNN.com - The mean value of the ‘Nasty Boss’ - Jul 7, 2006
Nor does Stanford professor Robert Sutton, an organizational psychologist. He’s developed a whole philosophy, presented in an upcoming book, on bosses who are, well, jerks: They’re a drain on society. They shouldn’t be hired in the first place, and if they won’t change their ways, they should be fired.
This article is fascinating and it makes me want to see the movie and by the book that is soon to be published…or perhaps I will listen to it. Anyway, as we seek success in balance it reminded me that it is not just an individual balance that we should seek, but corporate/communal balance. Often mean bosses can have their life in “balance” while forcing everyone around them to be out of balance. So are they really in balance?
What about you? What about me? As I seek to get balance in my life do I force others out of balance? Actually, as I reflect I realize that when I am out of balance I often cause others to be out of balance. If I do too much for others I allow them to not do enough for themselves. Remember what we do impacts more than just ourselves.
