Me & My Boss

Posted by Ayesha 20 March, 2010 (5) Comment

When I Take a long time to finish, I am slow,
When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough

When I don’t do it, I am lazy,
When my boss does not do it, he is busy,

When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart,
When my boss does the same, he takes the initiative,

When I please my boss, I am apple polishing,
When my boss pleases his boss, he is cooperating,

When I make a mistake, I’ am an idiot.
When my boss makes a mistake, he’s only human.

When I am out of the office, I am wondering around.
When my boss is out of the office, he’s on business.

When I am on a day off sick, I am always sick.
When my boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When I apply for leave, I must be going for an interview
When my boss applies for leave, it’s because he’s overworked

When I do good, my boss never remembers,
When I do wrong, he never forgets

What do you think makes for a good leader/boss?

Today, One of our group admin has raised this discussion and she needs your opinion on this part.
Well over the years, after working with many different personalities and in various positions, I realized that it was very important for one to have a good boss/leader to work under. Not only for one’s learnings, but for personal growth as a whole. It was always difficult to come to work feeling down and miserable after realizing one would have to come face to face with that same individual day after day. That bright sunny day would immediately turn into a grim and lousy one
What do you think makes for a good leader/boss? What kinds of qualities should one possess to be known as a “good ‘ leader ?
