BIG BOSS - Preface
‘People join organizations and leave their bosses.’ The maxim sums what we all experience (recurrently) in the organizations we serve. Recurrently? Yes!‘People join organizations and leave their bosses.’ The maxim sums what we all experience (recurrently) in the organizations we serve. Recurrently? Yes! On weekends, family becomes the boss of the social organization directing us to rush for the pending weekday's household ‘enterprise’ chores in a single day. Weekdays are obviously the breakfast of the corporates. One can’t choose Parents and Bosses, but certainly can stratagem to gobble up their animus exertions in profound demanding situations. Preponderance of the battle is won. After all, the white handkerchief isn’t always the end of it. The subsequent germane thoughts aren’t going to expound or divulge the ways to manage your boss, but to be conscious that these types of ‘creatures’ exist and will continue existing in our professional ecosystem. We can’t force or request them to change, but certainly can find ways to co-exist with them (Yes, co-exist, a state of ‘rarity’ in today’s world). There is no point in trying to change them - they won't. Did I hear you ask ‘Why?’ We all tend to know that the ‘Bosses’ have their own contagious presumptions about themselves and their subordinates. De facto, it is easier to believe that they have gone through the meaning of ‘subordinates’ umpteen times, but are oblivious to the word ‘Boss’ in the lexicon. To believe a picturesque event, one needs to experience it. Adi, a dreamer to make it big vocationally, had many ‘Bosses’ to his credit. He moiled in various firms in the pursuit to contribute, learn and share the nuances of the trade. In the process, while trying his luck in various industries and functions, he acquired an edge to decode the nonchalant entity called ‘Boss’ and at the least, ways to co-exist with them. Later when he went green, Adi got an opportunity to lead a team. He received excellent reviews from them that almost annulled the prevalent conventional image of a ‘Boss.’ Let’s peregrinate through his experiences of the various types of ‘Bosses’ he worked under (don’t we all agree, for could had been a more optimistic word than under?), their characteristics and thought processes. Who knows, your boss might be like one out of them. Inferences and analogies drawn over here are specific to the situations the protagonist is in, and will definitely vary for different personality types and under varied situations.
