Can Your Boss Make Decisions?
I like reading the perfectly concise IN BRIEFs from The Globe and Mail Careers section. It’s always full of interesting research and tidbits. This one I adored as it had employees rate their bosses’ decision-making abilities. And, the bosses don’t do that well. According to the survey “nearly half of British employees – 46 per cent – consider their bosses poor decision makers…” Reasons cited: “incompetence and lack of confidence.” Imagine that! And the kicker is that 82 per cent of these bosses have given good decision-making ratings to their managers. Why the gap? I think it shows the lack of communication between boss and employee. We need to understand each other to get along.
