I could just as easily be referring to physicians who keep a waiting room full of people waiting well past their agreed-upon appointment times.
I'm talking about company higher-ups who don't make a conscious effort to apologize to job interviewees for long waits-either on the day of an interview, or during the long lapses between interviewing and hearing back about whether a candidate got the job. When someone feels important because they have more power than the majority of people around them, they often take themselves pretty seriously-and don't think about the feelings of others. People in positions of power apologizing for keeping their captive audience waiting.
We desperately need more integrity from bosses far and wide.ĥ. Sadly, you rarely see this kind of healthy, appropriate behavior in the workplace. The good boss makes a constant effort to appreciate a staff’s contribution and to give them credit for a job well done. Simply put, bosses with integrity have no need for power because they know they're good at what they do, and they also have insight into the fact that they get better financial compensation than other workers. Yet the boss with integrity is a boss not because she or he wants to have power over others, but because of being a natural leader who is good at keeping things organized and who handles challenging situations with dexterity. Wherever you have power, you’ll find someone nearby who’s gunning for it. Based on these tales, the percentage of managers or bosses who are narcissistic, sadistic, or even sociopathic appears to be off the charts. Bosses highlighting their staffs’ accomplishments and downplaying their own.Īs a practicing psychologist, I hear some pretty extreme stories in my office.
