During my 3 decades of corporate life, I encountered many types of managers, many of whom left me frustrated, disillusioned and disenchanted! I am sharing 11 types of such managers who had this effect on me:
1. Timex Manager: He comes on time & leaves on time – without working.
2. Valentine Manager: He wears his heart on his sleeve and is a nuisance to women colleagues
3. Atlanta Manager: He looks to Head Quarter for directions
4. Lion Manager: He takes the lion’s share of credit after the work is done.
5. Tech-Savvy Manager: Only works with technology – presentation on PPT; mails through iPhone
6. Sun Flower Manger: Smile lights up his face as soon as he sees his boss and disappears when the boss disappears!
7. Echo Manager: He echo’s his master opinions
8. Air Bus Manager: Always flying with ideas; unfortunately many of them crash land!
9. Import Manager: Uses western ideologies and management concepts in Asian markets.
10. Teflon manager: Nothing sticks to him - especially his blunders.
11. Hyena Manager: Slyly takes credit for work done by others.
Have you come across managers who left you frustrated and fuming? Do share their traits and add value to the conversation!
