Everybody Wants to Be the Boss & Manager on the Job By William Piker At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Everyone wants to be the boss at work on the job. It is as if everyone wants to be chief no one wants to be a plain employee or a worker. Still it’s not a bed of roses at the top.

Well it can be said that while there are troops if not legions of “bad” “poor” or even downright terrible bosses try putting the shoe on the other foot and see it from your manager or supervisor’s viewpoint. Perhaps it would not be so good and easy; if not in a movie you woke up one day, not as an ordinary and standard worker bee and were the actual reigning boss in charge. It might well be a horror movie or at least not too easy and enjoyable day. On the other hand now you might think and ponder perhaps it is different from this perspective. Indeed you might send your employer a most positive, note, memo or letter. Perhaps you might even send your superior a poem.

Those who think that the boss has an all together easy life – full of perks , stop options , time off and total rules of their own seem to play the “if I were or were only the boss” game with great scorn. These employees and underlings daydream and even life in a fantasy land and make believe world that just given both the chance and opportunity how quickly , easily idealistically they would make a most major , distinct importance difference in the workplace both in terms of leadership , fairness , productivity and in the case of for profit companies and industries a better bottom line balance sheet and record of company profit , all the while having the greatest trust and respect of each and every employee working at the firm.

Not only that but these dreamers tend to simply focus solely on the perceived power and powers , influence , prestige and the financial benefits that come with the job of the “boss” be it CEO , general manager , manager , president , owner or whatever varied title the ultimate top of their company or organization has been given , designated or awarded.

Is being the boss as glamorous as varied employees might think or imagine in their wildest dreams? The simple and even sad fact of reality is a resounding and most loud “NO”. It’s an amazing slap of reality that many new “leaders” face the opposite - a more than rude awakening and realization during their first few months, weeks or even days on the job. They often feel overwhelmed, if not completely and solidly exasperated upon realizing that they have more than completely underestimated the scope of company or organizational expectations and even demands. Struggling with their responsibilities , many and seemingly relentless pressures , as well as the many varied as well as difficult situations and what seem like the full gamut of decisions and decision-making , most of which carry great as well as unstated implications immediately as well as down the road, they soon find out that its not all they thought. Life as a boss is not just perks and privileges awarded to the boss and upper management. Its work and downright difficult employment as well.

Think that you would like to be the boss? Think that it is easy and a piece of cake. Take off the blinders off your eyes. Put the shoe on the other foot.
