The Patronizing 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 styles (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 patronizing boss is an old-school martyr. Didn’t you know? - He built the company from the ground up! In fact, he made the chair you’re sitting in. You, as an underling, need his holiness’s guidance to see you through the most mundane and simple of tasks. His help, however, always leads to – you guessed it - trouble. How to deal with the King of Condescension? Try a little deflation. Ask him how is it that someone as knowledgeable and talented as him is working for this little company.

The Two-minute Boss

The two-minute boss is a cross between a god boss and a world-on-his-shoulders boss. He impulsively demands control over situations (“What have you done when I was on vacation?”) and then cuts off your answer two minutes in because he doesn’t have time to discuss it. He frequently, yet randomly, asks you to write reports on your progress, but will rarely remember that he’s asked. The two-minute boss constantly gives the impression that he is way too busy to bother with details. His head is always somewhere else – somewhere more important. Working for this boss is an exercise in the art of speaking concisely. Try to fit everything you have to say in a two-minute timeframe, and see what happens.

The Buddy Boss

The buddy boss wants to be your friend, not your “superior.” He wants you to like him, and because friends stick up for friends, it might be a good investment to spend some time with him. However, be forewarned: hanging out with buddy boss during your work hours could have you working nights to keep up. The key here is balance.

The Buzzword 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 styles (or bosses).

The buzzword boss loves his designer clothes, cars, pen, and toothbrush. What he loves even more are those clichés he heard at the latest management seminar. Get your barf buckets ready folks, this boss adores the fact that, remarkably, there’s no “I” in team, that he can’t spell success without “u,” and that for him to assume would make an “ass” out of “u” and “me.” Though not for the easily queasy, this boss is essentially harmless. Grin and bear it. And, if you can – teach him some new words on a regular basis.
