I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: a great (even decent) leader should never need to utter the words “I’m your boss.” If the term is spoken, it’s because said leader has failed to think through a decision properly.
In short, they failed to lead.
Am I wrong? Have you ever had to pull out the so-called nuclear option?
What? You mean I can’t whip out the “‘Cuz I’m the dad and I said so” spiel?! Guess I’ll have to just add that to the list of things my parents did that I’m gonna try hard not to do!
no no no… by all means, use it in a parental situation. I mean, I sure will.
Being a boss and a parent shouldn’t be the same thing. Since you, as an employee, don’t need constant attention, and your boss should think through decisions, especially critical ones, well enough that they could be effectively explained to a toddler.
