With all the hoopla over bad bosses and dysfunctional managers, I never thought to look at the flip-side until I read a post by Jill Geisler of the Poynter Institute. Sure enough, there’s a huge downside to managers being wimpy or too nice.
No, not just nice. Too nice. What’s the difference? Good question.
* Nice is treating employees with the respect they deserve. Too nice is being a doormat and letting people walk all over you.
* Nice is giving employees the flexibility to work from home periodically. Too nice is a staff meeting in an empty conference room because everyone’s out screwing around.
* Nice is being honest about your employee’s strengths and weaknesses come review time. Too nice is when your people get crappy raises because you didn’t fight for them.
