My Weekly Reminder

Last week I asked you to share your experiences concerning how to turn a boss around.  The response below is full of excellent advice:

I say, “Kill ‘em with kindness” and treat them like you’d like to be treated.  MAKE UP praise if you have to.  Negative people are not used to that vibration and will sometimes just stop in their tracks when you flood them with positive praise.  Try to step back and see the bigger picture of their lives, why their egos are inflated, sometimes to cover up deep insecurities. Understand that they might be getting pressure from THEIR superiors that stresses them out and makes them take it out on you.  I’ve asked grumpy bosses, “It seems like you’re a little down today. Is there something I can do to help?”  If the boss won’t give you praise, start your OWN forum where co-workers can create the positive reinforcement web among themselves.  If the boss sees happy and positive workers, he or she may get caught up in the good vibes and think twice before coming out and blasting negativity at everyone.  I love the following quote from Goethe regarding this subject: “If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse. However, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.”
