Does your manager fit into one of these categories?
1) MANAGING BY WALKING FASTER THAN THE EMPLOYEES
These kind of managers you will always see in the
corridor, ten steps away. "We'll have to talk" you can
hear them say, just as they have disappeared around
the corner.
2) MANAGING BY STARING OUT OF THE WINDOW
These managers you usually meet with their backside faced
to you with their hands in their pockets. When you talk to
them, their thoughts keep staring out of the windows.
3) MANAGING BY POST-IT'S
Some managers forget everything. They want to impress you
with their 'busy'ness by continuously writing on Post-it's
while you are talking.
4) MANAGING BY DELEGATION TO THE SECRETARY
These managers just delegate everything to the secretary.
If he is good, He knows what she must do.
5) MANAGING BY KNOWING NOTHING
These managers don't really know anything at all. They let
YOU give answers. Meanwhile they fill the time with nice
anecdotes of irrelevant cases.
6) MANAGING BY CONCEPTUAL THINKING
These people try to explain the present from a theoretical
view of the far future. The idea that this never will work,
completely satisfies them: They will always have something
to talk about.
7) MANAGING BY HIDING INFORMATION
Information hiders are aware of the market value of strictly
secret kept information. You must be very thankful to get any
information at all. Beware of simulants from category 5!
8) MANAGING BY DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE BOSS SAYS
These managers prevent their bosses from creative thinking.
Else they got more work to do.
9) MANAGING BY WALKING ONE FOOT BEHIND THE BOSS
In hierarchical organizations you can watch those groups
walking in the corridor. The more equal managers are directly
followed by the lesser equal managers, and so on.
10) MANAGING BY SMILING AND WEARING NICE SUITS
If you drink beer with them, lunch with them, smile to them
and also wear nice suits, nothing can stop your career
anymore.
