The Martyr Boss

As men, we are constantly growing into the roles of leadership in family, church, community, and government.  Have you paid the cost to be the boss?  What type of boss do you like?  What kinds of boss drives you insane?  Our leadership style is often predicated on the leaders that we've served up under, but nevertheless, you will have to deal with MANY style (or bosses).

I will be doing a series on the different types of bosses that you will encounter.  As you read about the various styles, see where you fit in or inspire too!  It doesn't matter if you're a CEO or a father; you are the BOSS of someone.

The Martyr Boss

The martyr boss has done, does, and always will do anything for the good of the company. They worked Christmas Day, with pneumonia, in a snowstorm. They walked to and from work for 5 weeks after his car accident, with both legs broken. They stay every night until 8 pm without extra pay. They will complain, but won't go ANYWHERE!  How do you compete? You don’t. You listen. They’ll probably be there way past retirement, so it’s best to learn how to deal with them early on.  This style shows work ethic and sacrifice to his family, but also shows weakness and a wrong motive.
