Afterthis post, I had some folks asking for a “Things Executives or Managers Aren’t Thinking” post. Well, the Workplace Mojo lower-case-g gods have smiled upon you, so here you go…
As much as awful managers bother us all (even though we’veallbeenthat awful manager from time to time), I think sometimes execs and managers get lumped together and collectively get a bad rap. I mean, for the most part, it’s not like they’re all sitting around thinking:
1. I believe that I’llintentionallymake a bad decision in hopes that it will have a negative impact on most, if not all, of our employees.
2. I think I’ll suck at leading today. Like intentionally suck. I will be cognizant of the fact that I am not leading well, and I will continue leading poorly.
