Top boss gripes rated…

Workplace culture in the US and the UK might be different – but it seems some things are universal: including moaning about bosses.

A US-based global human resource consulting firm – Development Dimensions International – teamed up with badbossology.com, which describes itself as a bad-boss protection resource site, to find out leadership sins.

Top of the list were:

* Being everyone’s friend
* Micromanagement
* Arrogance – particularly male bosses
* Inability to delegate – particularly female bosses
* Risk averse – cited by four times as many male employees as female

The survey also asked for the top three qualities people would like to see in their bosses – trust in employees topped the list followed by honesty and integrity with team building skills in third place.
