WHETHER YOU LIKE IT YOU SHOULD LIKE YOUR BOSSES AND IF NOT IT IS  BETTER FOR YOU TO LEAVE OR SAY GOODBYE.

DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS IS ALSO APPLICABLE IN MANAGING STYLES. THERE ARE BOSSES WHO DO NOT ACT LIKE BOSSES BUT MORE LIKE A BUDDY OR A BIG BROTHER. MY HEART BELONGS WITH THEM.

AND THERE ARE STRICT BOSSES WHO ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO PLEASE. THIS BLOG IS FOR THEM TOO. AND MY HEART GOES WITH THEM AS WELL.

EDITOR ANA MARIE S. TIANGCO OF MANILA BULLETIN HAD SOME TIPS ON DEALING WITH DIFFICULT BOSSES.

ANALYZE THEIR DEMANDS

TAMING AN OVER DEMANDING BOSS REQUIRES THE EMPLOYEE TO FIRST ANALYZE THE DEMANDS. FIND OUT FIRST IF THE DEMANDS ARE REALISTIC OR NOT. BY KNOWING THESE DEMANDS, YOU ARE BETTER PREPARED TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP WITH REGARDS TO TOTAL ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR WORK.

STUDY THE WORK LOAD

AS SOON AS YOU EVALUATED THE DEMAND, CONSIDER YOUR PRESENT WORKLOAD. FIND OUT HOW YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH YOUR WORK WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY. REMEMBER THAT NO BOSS WOULD WANT A MEDIOCRE WORK. SO IT IS BEST THAT IN ALL ASPECTS OF YOUR WORK, IT IS IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS WITH YOUR BOSS ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE CONFUSIONS ALONG THE WAY.

TALK TO YOUR BOSS

STUDY THE PERSONALITY OF YOUR BOSS BEFORE TALKING TO HIM. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU'LL GET IN TROUBLE BY TALKING TO HIM ABOUT THE CURRENT HEAVY WORKLOAD, THEN DON'T AND TRY ANOTHER WAY. IF YOUR BOSS IS DEMANDING AND FAIR, FIND THE RIGHT TIME TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT YOUR PROJECTS AND LOAD.

GET IT DONE

GET THE WORK DONE BY ALL MEANS. AND DO IT THE BEST WAY YOU CAN. MEET THE DEADLINES. REORGANIZE YOUR WORK SCHEDULE IF YOU CAN IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE BEST RESULTS. PRIORITIZE YOUR SCHEDULES TO MEET YOUR BOSS DEMANDS.

IN TODAY'S WORKFORCE, THERE ARE HUNDREDS EVEN THOUSANDS OF STRICT BOSSES BUT YOU COULD ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO TAME HIM OR TO PLEASE HIM. OF COURSE, THE FIRST PRIORITY WOULD BE TO DELIVER THE WORK THAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU AND MEET HIS REALISTIC DEMANDS.

KEEP IN MIND, TOO, THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A STRICT BOSS DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE A BAD BOSS.

BOSS ARE THERE TO DO THEIR JOB AND, AGAIN, THEY HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES OF DOING IT.

IF YOU'VE GOT A STRICT BOSS, ANALYZE HE SITUATION BECAUSE THE PROBLEM MIGHT AT YOUR END TOO:

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS:

1.     ARE YOU ALWAYS LATE?
2.     DO YOU ALWAYS GO UNDERTIME?
3.     DO YOU PERFORM YOUR JOB WELL?
4.     ARE YOU A TEAM PLAYER?
5.     DO YOU WORK HARD TO ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF THE COMPANY?

YOUR ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS WILL ENLIGHTEN YOU ON YOUR BOSS' PERSONALITY AND WILL GIVE YOU AN INSIGHT ON HOW BEST TO DEAL WITH THE  SITUATION SO YOU COULD CHART YOUR PATH TO YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
