Boss Survey
How do you answer to the boss?
- Do you create expectations in advance beyond the the boss's calendar to be ready for answers?
- Do you challenge the boss by asking hard questions?
- Are you someone who does exactly what the boss says?
- Do you anticipate in advance what the boss will ask of you?
- Do you tell the boss what your best choice is among all the available options?
- Do your co-workers and bosses ask you difficult questions?
- If so, do you give them support or say: "Get lost"?
- Have you created a totally new way to do things, something noone has ever seen or done?
- Do you seek out the boss when you make an error or mistake?
- Do you frequently often do you push, encourage and lead your co-workers to do ever better work?
- Will next month be one the boss will celebrate because you are on the team?
- Do you insist that your co-workers challenge, push and encourage you?
- Do you appreciate the boss when he/she gives feedback which contradicts your opinion?
- Do you thank the boss?
For the entrepreneur: "Who is the boss?" Someone who you honor, respect and admire? The boss might be someone who has already travelled the path and knows the dangers ahead.
Is it better to trust one's self when in the land of inexperience, or is it more advantageous to choose someone who has the experience and ask them to be the boss? The entrepreneur begins to flounder without measurements of success and accountability.
Options:
When you assign yourself to be the boss, the outcome will be: you lose.
