The Insecure, Small-Minded Boss

A colleague mentioned to me the other day, that the executive director at her part-time job likes to criticize and browbeat his employees in their weekly staff meetings. It occurred to me that it is typically the insecure, small-minded person who resorts to that kind of behavior.

Over thirty-five years ago at an organization where I was consulting, the staff there had a similar type of boss to deal with. They resorted to sabotaging the boss and the organization which ultimately resulting in the boss being removed. But, before then the organization suffered and undeserved its constituents.

These bosses almost always have advanced degrees. So consider this, learning without wisdom is like a load of books on an ass' back.

If you know of anyone or if you have had an experience like this, let me know about it and and how it was handled.
