Consistancy

Jef got me thinking about what kind of boss I am, and I realize with great disappointment that he may be right. Looking back at my behavior, I’m NOT very consistent. Some days I’m up, some days I’m down. Some days I expect more than others. So today, I am trying a new approach. I will expect the same thing every day, and make those expectations clear. I will attempt to keep my personal feelings out of the workplace, because moodiness really has no place with such strict deadlines. And I will attempt to find better ways to control my stress. All of this may give the impression that I’m a cold bitch, but at least that way they would learn to expect the same behavior, and can count on my newfound consistancy. Because he’s right; it’s HARD to work for someone when you don’t know what to expect that day. My boss is clear in his expectations, always keeps the customer as the focus of issues, and reamians fair but firm in his decisions. Because of that, I respect him. And if I want that type of respect, I’ve got to change the way I’m currently approaching things.

Or maybe Jef is just a chauvanist. :)

    Could be tue Jef is a cheauvanist! I think that’s a big step for you. It’s probably not as hard as it sounds. I can’t even count the number of bosses I’ve had. But I can tell you among all of them I can only think of 2 I really liked, male or female. Good luck. It’s a tough job to balance your boss and the careers of those under you who want to excel. You make them look good and you look good.
