Gentlemen entrepreneurs, it seems, you are certainly overloaded with work and responsibilities, but you must admit that this is also an opportunity for you to show who is boss to your little hands without which you would be nothing. If you really want to be considered the big boss, you don’t just have to practice your profession but adopt an attitude, a particular way of life. If you haven’t yet managed to stand out, we have selected some tips for you… not to be taken lightly. No, but who is the boss?!! How do you recognize the big boss?
(This article has an ironic purpose, editor’s note)
The art of appropriating good ideas, the big boss
Some ideas for recognizing the big boss! Rather than putting yourself forward in conversations around the coffee machine or in debates in meetings, let others speak. Once you have heard everyone’s ideas, sort them and among those you think are good, select the best one after studying the question. Once the idea isread analyzed, break out of your silence by jumping joyfully: “Eureka, I just had an idee, you will tell me how you evaluate itz”. Stay modest if you trigger thunderous applause (you can dream…). Being a business manager also means knowing how to listen to colleagues…
A vein of targets for your charm
Some do not hesitate to take advantage of their hierarchical position to gain success among their professional entourage. As you know, there are two cases of “flirting”. First choice and second choice. Where VSE executives are content to tease interns, large-scale business leaders have the choice of using the employee poolés who swarm in the corridors of the premises or on the Slack channels. If this is not enough, you can also seduce your investors, your customers, etc… but admit that it will not be for the same motivations… Or is it?!!
Trampling on the laws of your country, the big boss?
This society with all its laws, its taxes, its shenanigans directed against businesses (and especially against yours, right?). But as you shout loud and clear, all these burdens that weigh on otherses, you just make a mouthful! You armed yourself from the beginning of a holefew lawyers to explain to the judge your innovative concept of accounting, your practice certainly a little crudeale of management but which has proven effective, your maintenance of a certain tradition which consists of recovering debts with a fist of steel and your stifling presence with your investors on all instant messaging. So what, you are not satisfied and you intend to make yourself heard! So what? No, but who is the boss?!!
Eliminate everyone who stands in your way
If you are recognized by your colleagues as the big boss, you should not have to demonstrate your power. Who would dare to contradict you? Nobody, that goes without saying. At the same time, you have created a reputation which, it goes without saying, must curber more than one protester. Don’t pretend you don’t understand… Don’t you remember your last anger? The people who work (and worked) for you have not forgottene. Cut access to all the tools and firing an employee overnight who had neglected to send an important email is memorable, all the same! Especially since you usually don’t get your hands dirty and appoint a contractor to resolve your disputes. One thing is certain: instead of settling scores with your scapegoat, you would have done better to send the email… which, as a result, was not sent.
Delegate without scruple
The life of an entrepreneur is particularly busy and private life sometimes becomes difficult to manage. You are essential to the smooth running of your business while your employees can carry out the tasks of someone who is absent. Buy bread, go cpick up your suit at the dry cleaners or picking up your Uber Eats order are chores you can’t afford to do. Fortunately, your employees are full of empathy and are devoted to you body and soul: one of them always offers to be of service to you. However, it is always with fear in his stomach that he carries out his mission for fear of disappointing you. If he brings back a baguette trop cooked (and not molded, as you asked), it is he who is cookedt.
It is certain that youYou’re not going to fire him immediately for so little, but one of your loyal collaborators will take care of sending him a memorable warning so that he remembers his mistakes. But you are right, you must not give in or laxity will take over. We don’t joke about daily tasks! But one piece of advice: choose good bread cooked… it’s more digestiblee.
A very special moment of relaxation
According to age-old rumors, a glass of spirits at 2 p.m. in the management office is absolutely not a cliché but the complete truth… And neither is a high-dose vaping break (especially when you appear with your eyes completely blown out on video!). If you also smoke a cigar, people will imagine a magical world filled with employees, money and power! Be careful though, if you want to impress the gallery, your cigar must necessarily bebe absolutely rare, from the best plantations and harvested according to traditions from another time.
Why think about provenance at a time that is meant to be a way to relax? There’s no point carrying all the misery in the world on your shoulders, you have enough problems with your business. So why compromise with quality? After all, if youWe don’t take advantage of this luxury, someone else will take care of it for you and without a conscience…
Have your own box of caviar in the canteen
You rarely have time to eat lunch outside so you have to settle for a quick lunch in the catering area or in the company kitchen. However, you are not neglecting yourself. No question of tasting the classic dish of the day… You prefer to enjoy your caviar whose can remains in the fridge (sealed, of course). When you eat these luxurious eggs, you ingest slowly, as if to make your employees salivate. Obviously, you leave the box widely visible, in order to feed coffee break gossip (the mole you have coaxed into the team tells you everything).
And if you don’t go to the canteen, you can have succulent gourmet dishes delivered to you and share with your colleagues not your meal but its delicious flavors. Basically, it’s not bad, is it?!! You only encourage them to lead the same lifestyle as you… with a salary halved!
Don’t clutter yourself with unnecessary things
With all the employees who work for you, it’s difficult to know everyone’s first name. Moreover, when you sign the termination of a contract, you are always surprised to meet for the first time a person who has worked for you for 15 years. Your personal assistant is still fine, since you talk to him several times a day. But for others… You don’t plan to consult the organization chart to practice. So you have found a foolproof way: you have given a little name that you attribute to each of your employees, such as “champion”, “buddy” or “the team”. This way, at least, you won’t make a mistake. It remains to be seen whether your employees appreciate this type of designation.
Sow trouble in the minds of your employees
When you feel the need, you take advantage of a moment of respite to walk around your business accompanied by your right arm (you might as well share, it’s more fun!). As you pass by the desks, you seem absorbed in thought. In reality, you have fun looking intently at certain employees while whispering to your assistant (so that it can be heard, of course): “He, yes, her too, she no, readi, no problem, etc. and youend your little tour by saying: for the others, I’ll see later.” But what are you talking about? Promotion? Certainly not. Departure plan? Maybe. The pleasure of making your employees think? Without a doubt!
Mix pleasure and work
Since you spend most of your life at work, it’s difficult to find the time to practice a sport rigorously. And we know that sport is part of a healthy lifestyle. So you have decided to install a rowing machine, an exercise bike and a height-adjustable desk in your private space (in case one of your employees drops out to do a session with you). So, installing a real synthetic “green” in your office to improve your golf putting… was it really essential? Still happy that padel is not practiced in 15 m²! But you’re right, it’s important to know how to relax at work.
