“When you find a Bloodhound with a boss, you’ve found fraud: There is no such thing.”
In this I am one with Caesar and Trump and possibly also even the Nazarene: I am a natural-born boss, but I abhor and resist the way most bosses do things. I am not beset by enemies like those other guys, lucky me, because I lack their ambition. But their enemies – for Caesar and Trump, anyway – assailed them because they resisted and hoped to supplant the predation of the boss class.
The DISC of this is simple: Only the Driven temperament should lead, and only Ds should lead things meant to endure. I’m Di – solo projects, skunk works, turnarounds – but I understand why Ds matters – and, where it doesn’t, why nothing else does.
The boss class right now is enthralled by Ci – much weakened this year by Ci’s many unforced errors – but it is flirting with Dc. This would be the entire battle of recorded history – Ci theocracy (here technocracy) versus Dc oligarchy – minus the Nazarene, who brought with him the Ds golden age none of us thought to question until Ci started tearing it down.
Ci in power is predatory – you know, like squeezing broke people and calling it “optimization” – but Di and Dc will drift toward Cautious tyranny over time, as well. Why? Because “rank has its privileges.” This is something that should never be said, and certainly never said down, to your own people. But a whole lot of bosses seem to think their job title confers upon them a change of identity whereby the boss points and says, “My bags,” and whomever he says it to is instantly minionized.
It’s easy to spot bad bosses – unless you come to the office after five or on the weekend: The only practical way they have of proving the privilege of their rank is by not working. Half the economy worked yesterday so the other half could take the day off. But almost none of the bosses worked, and those who did are yearning for their own StatusLoafing days.
Why are we so poorly led? Because our “leaders” demonstrate their “leadership” by not leading – ostentatiously and at every available opportunity!
And all of that is by way of bitching that there is no real estate news this morning because the people responsible for feeding your mind when it is around to be fed decided to take yesterday off – like the predatory bosses they worship.
Meanwhile: If you’re looking for a good boss, look for the guy in the headline: He knows his team is a family, and he treats them that way.
