\"Happiness

A bad boss can make you say goodbye to your happiness.<\/p><\/div>\n

You’re distressed. You’re tired. You’re disappointed. You’re demotivated. You’re angry. Everytime you talk to your boss, you come out feeling angrier and more dejected than before.<\/p>\n

You’re frustrated because your boss is a micromanager, controlling and picky. He just wants things done in his own way, and keeps you on a short leash. You get absolutely no freedom to do what you want.<\/p>\n

That’s a bad boss<\/a> for you, ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n

Before you read further, let me tell you I have written an article on how a bad boss can make a simple change in his signature, which will help him improve relations with his colleagues. Read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s get back to bad bosses.<\/p>\n

Mediocre managers kill everyone’s happiness by hoping that their employees will all be motivated by the same things and driven by the same goals.<\/p><\/div>\n

Toxic supervisors<\/h3>\n

An article on HBR<\/a> says that despite billions on dollars spent annually on managerial and leadership development, bad bosses are common in the global workforce.<\/p>\n

A study<\/a> found that 56% of American workers claim their boss is mildly or highly toxic. Similarly, a research<\/a> by the American Psychological Association found that 75% of Americans say their \u201cboss is the most stressful part of their workday.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s a challenge for employees across the world to deal with toxic supervisors. A friend told me she had to quit her job because her boss was inflexible and he always wanted things done his way.<\/p>\n

She said: “Beyond a point I had stopped using my thinking faculties. I stopped coming up with ideas because no matter what you brought up, he would reject it and ask me to do things the way he wanted.”<\/p>\n

Handwriting: Inflexible boss<\/h3>\n

If your boss writes with a rigid left margin in handwriting, you can bid goodbye to your happiness and creativity.<\/p>\n

A rigid left margin, according to handwriting analysis<\/a>, indicates that the writer is a strict disciplinarian who keeps others as well as himself on a short leash, and he does not want to deviate from the set standards.<\/p>\n

Let’s look at a handwriting sample with a rigid left margin.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The left margin in this representational photo is rigid, which indicates that the writer is a strict disciplinarian.<\/p><\/div>\n

Like his rigid and inflexible left margin, the writer’s attitude and behaviours are also unbending and uncompromising.<\/p>\n

A person who writes with a rigid left margin is driven by an avoidable need to be perfect all the time because any deviation from perfection makes him uncomfortable and insecure.<\/p>\n

If this person gets a supervisory role in an organisation, he will, in all probability, behave like a tyrant and dry up the creative juices of the junior colleagues who report to him.<\/p>\n

Now, an important question you may have: Is rigid left margin the only prominent handwriting feature of a bad boss? No. It’s just one of the many.<\/p>\n

Final words<\/h3>\n

I can tell you from experience that nobody likes a disciplinarian. Having a disciplinarian for a boss is like working under an oppressive dictator.<\/p>\n

It is not only unpleasant, but also breeds resentment and generally results in less work getting done. A disciplinarian boss is designed to impose his own style on others.<\/p>\n

Great managers don\u2019t try to change a person\u2019s style. They make things better through constructive feedback and positive recommendations.<\/p><\/div>\n

Great managers, on the other hand, don\u2019t try to change a person\u2019s unique style. They never try to push a bishop to move in the same way as a knight. They know that their underlings will differ in how they think, what their strong areas are, how patient they can be, what drives them and what challenges them.<\/p>\n

In short, a great boss works with you to make things better through constructive feedback and positive recommendations.<\/p>\n

Let’s accept it. Nobody is perfect. At least no one I know is. And if your boss is pretending to be perfect or a perfectionist, he or she is nothing but a posey pig.<\/p>\n
