Why Bosses are Bosses and not a good guide or a friend

guys i accept. what if u get a fuzzy boss.

I would like to agree with Sowmini to some extent on his argument.

Mentoring and guidance from a boss is entirely dependent on the relationship you have with your boss. If you and him are the uptight kind then it makes it extremely difficult to share issues but more often that not you will find one or two things that are worth taking up.
You have to just have to have a system of churning the good and the bad from each experience with your boss and eventually you may find yourself realigned to his her way of thinking. And that way a closer working relation is cultivated.

Hi George,

I think bosses are always there to guide and to show right path.And my boss with whom m workin and reportin to is an inspiration to me bcoz the way he deals with all the situation is amazing and i have learned a lot from him.I think every boss behave in different manner depends on their experince and their attitute.Every boss have their different style of workin whether it is in a +ve or -ve way but u can always learn lot of things from them.i would like to suggest u that all bosses are not same.

U are rite,and five fingers are too nt same.

Dear George,

I would say that it all depends on the perception of the subordinate. If they think the bosses are not treating them properly then how much ever boss tries to help him out he will never come up. On the other hand if a subordinate thinks it is for the betterment of his L'ship skills then he will definitely take things in right spirit.

Hi

With my working experience of 5 years in same company, I was much fortunate to have a Boss who was more than a friend. What is important is that the manner in which you treat and look to your Boss. As on human mind, if the things give him a mental satisfaction the things will be good for him. Always try to impress your Boss not with words but with your work. In simple words- Work with your boss smarter way, not the harder way.

Hi George,

Good Question! Very few become leaders after having become bosses. But Bosses can't be friends is difficult to judge because most of the time when they are with you they are really very nice if you are talented and you fulfill their needs with your competence. You know Huge Prather wrote in Notes to Myself that Liking is a function of need. Let me tell you whatever be the level of friendship the moment you are no more capable of fulfilling the needs, the friendship slowly begins to fade and you don't even ever realise wha has happened. If you are not very useful to them then perhaps they would maintain a distance and keep you busy with routine.
Bosses can be friends but for that please give them confidence that you are dependable and competent. It's hard work but it is possible.

not always..at times they are our friends n always there to help us wenever needed but u need to have a good impression on ur boss ..

Hi George,

Boss is also a human being and he is not the ultimate hence he may be expecting the same type of treatment from his boss. Most of the people in higher postions are well matured and they knows pretty well that until and unless his team members performs he can not survive. In the changed scenario every boss has to mingle with the team and the get the work done for his survival.

There may be one or two such type of people. Let us not generalize and also look at the best.
