VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Bosses often get a bad rap. But is it deserved?
In reality, most people seem pretty impressed with their managers.
A new OfficeTeam survey finds more than three in four workers believe their boss has strong leadership skills. Two thirds think they couldn’t do a better job than their manager.
“Although workers may not regularly praise their bosses, many look up to their managers’ leadership skills and acknowledge that supervisory roles can be highly demanding,” says Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam.
“Employees might not feel they could do a better job than their boss because they aren’t interested in leading others or taking on the added responsibility and accountability that comes with executive roles.”
The survey is based on telephone interviews with more than 400 Canadian workers 18 years of age or older and employed in office environments.
