Boss's Tendencies

Over the last decade, under 3 different bosses.... I've grown to notice a few key characteristics about them....

1. they tend to repeat themselves.... several times during each conversation, meetings and also BETWEEN meetings....

2. they do not neccessarily understand what you're trying to tell them, especially when it gets too technical (cos they will feel paiseh to ask you to explain the techniques etc.... so they just pretend that they understand. But when the conversation moves on... you'll discover that they dun really Understand... cos if they do... they wont be asking you to do what you've just explained not possible)

3. they enjoy riding on the pinnacle of research frontier, not only THIER information will always be the BEST but also will be the ONLY best. So regardless of what you propose, its THEIR way of doing things.

4. a month later, they'll ask you why did you conduct the experiment that way.... (then u major scratch head as you'll be trying to tell them that it was THEIR idea in the first place, this point, their forgetfulness will come into FULL play and they'll be in total denial that it was their idea in the first place...)

5. in short, they're NEVER wrong and they also do not enjoy being corrected.... so dun even think about it...

mayb it only happens with asian bosses... wonder if the other bosses out there would be better??
