Accidental Bad Boss

It’s the boss’s job to create the conditions for their team’s success.

First, it’s worth defining what success looks like. Both for the collective and the individuals.

Those conditions can be built intentionally or “just happen.” Both approaches can yield success or failure. You might be a bad (or good) boss intentionally or accidentally.

If you’ve accidentally created the conditions for success, take notes so you can do it intentionally next time. If you’ve accidentally created the conditions for no success, take notes so you can figure out what to do next time.

Either way, you’re trying to become an intentional good boss next time.
