A number of Bad Bosses have already been Tagged.  One Bad Boss who was Tagged has already stepped down from his managerial position and has accepted a non-supervisory position where he is much happier.  In his old department everyone is relieved and extremely happy.  One of the Bad Boss’s former employees remarked on the day after the Bad Boss stepped down, ”I can’t believe it !?!  Things  already are different-I’ve actually heard laughter around the department for the first time in ages.”  Another employee remarked, “I am so-o-o-o-o happy!”

If you know of a boss that doesn’t treat his or her employees well, consider having them tagged using our Bad Boss Tagging Program.  Go to www.bosstrenz.com.

They understand that employees don’t want to listen to a boss tell his or her story, but those same employees are dying to tell their story to a boss who cares. So, if you as a boss are willing to take the time to regularly listen to your employees, you’ll not only make their day but you’ll begin to attract people toward you like a magnet. As the French writer, Jules de Goncourt put it, “Never speak of yourself to others; make them talk about themselves instead; therein lies the whole art of pleasing. Everybody knows it, and everyone forgets it.” So make it a point to be a caring listener and watch your popularity and effectiveness as a boss start to soar. If you know of an Bad Boss who needs to learn this lesson, have him or her tagged using our Bad Boss Tagging program. Go to www.bosstrenz.com.
