3 Signs You Are an Awful Boss

Here's a little secret: you're an awful boss. You might not know it yet, but you really are.

It's hard to admit that you're an awful boss, though. You feel bad, so you tell yourself that your employees are just having a bad day or that they're being ungrateful because they don't like their jobs anymore. But the truth is, they're probably right — and if they aren't getting along with you, then something else is going on.

Here are three signs that you have some serious growing up to do as a boss:

You never listen to what employees have to say about how things can be done better.

You're always quick to blame others for mistakes or problems in the workplace.

When employees express an opinion about how something should be done, you ignore them and continue on with what needs doing.

Oh wow, this completely describes my boss. Though recently i noticed he is trying to listen to what we have to say, but when it comes to actually doing what we say, he still prefers doing things his own way. As a boss or business owner, your ability to listen to your employees and communication with them effectively may also determine if they would want to remain working under you or not.

You're not a good boss because you don't know how to manage people. You may be a great worker, but as soon as you get into management, things go downhill. Your employees hate you and they will never work with you again. Everyone knows your employees have better things to do than work for the terrible boss who is constantly yelling at them and making them feel bad about themselves.

You're not a good boss because of your personality. You're a jerk, and everyone hates being around you and working for you because of it. You're always angry, even when there is nothing going on at work. Your employees don't want to be around someone like that and would rather quit than work with someone like that.

You're not a good boss because of your lack of communication skills. Communication is the key to any relationship between two people or groups of people, especially in business relationships between leaders and their subordinates. If one person isn't communicating well enough with another person or group of people, then their relationship will fail no matter what else they do right or wrong because they aren't communicating effectively enough with each other or with others involved in their business relationships.

Good one!! Most awful bosses does not agree they are not a good boss,they see themselves as the number one, even when they know no one is above mistake,they parade themselves as if they are the only one that have employees. Most things you stated up there quite describe a friend's boss,he never listens to anyone,it's his way or nothing else,and when there is a mistake somewhere,his employees are in for it,the nagging and all,yet he doesn't want advice or contributions. He claims it's his business and he knows what is good and bad for it.

No one is dragging owning a business with you but at least try to seek for options from employees,it grows business and makes everyone United. I have also met a man before who is a boss sometimes this year, infact you hardly know he is the boss when I met him with his employees laughing and joking,he is so simple yet doesn't joke with an unserious employee.
