Are You a Blustering Boss?
Really successful employers never
give emphatic orders to a helper, of
either high or low degree, while
any one outside the force is present.
An employe who is worth while
does not enjoy being instructed in
way which suggests that he cannot
get his employer's idea without hav
ing it literally hammered into him.
Pride is a part of every good man
or womart s character.
Pride is a part of every good man's
work produced and too much pride
to wish to be belittled before others.
is natural.
The boss who follows such an prac
tice as making employe's conspicu
ous before others when he gives an
order loses the best effort an em
ploye is capable of making, or per
haps loses a good helper.
- It ' may be the result of circum
stances, not ability, which puts' one
man in as head and the other as
employe. ' ,
" There is no reason why an em
ployer should treat an intelligent and
energetic employe in a discourteous
manner..
It is not often that a capable man
will stand this sort of thing. '
Once in a while , circumstances
might make it necessary.
An employer who will take ad
vantage of such a man-is not a real
