Module 2

I’ve truly been very lucky with the bosses I’ve had in the past.  I’ve only ever had one that wasn’t a good leader.  The one boss that impressed me the most was definitely a visionary.  He came into the place that I worked and turned it around.  The place was borderline corrupt and the decent people that were working there were absolutely miserable.  When he first came, we thought he would clean house and all those crappy people would get canned.  It wasn’t that they didn’t know their jobs; it was that they just didn’t do them.  Instead of firing them, he got to know them and in doing so he let them know that he was on to their shenanigans.  He worked with them and because he was so positive and had such high expectations, they started to produce at a higher rate.  It was really almost unbelievable, the turnaround in that particular workplace.
