Survey results indicate that approximately
40% of employees have had to deal with a bad boss. A new free web
site (http://www.badbossology.com)
has been launched to provide news and resources on bad boss protection
strategies and tactics from US and international sources.
Said Co-Founder Gary Lahey,
"Badbossology.com is designed to protect both people and companies.
It takes a responsible balanced approach, devoid of ranting and 'Boss from
Hell' stories, and also provides key resources for bosses, executives and
board members."
The site provides continually updated
news and resources in an intuitive, blog-style user interface. It
highlights material from sources such as The Chicago Tribune, CNNMoney.com,
Fast Company, The Harvard Business School, and the Wall Street Journal's
CareerJournal.com, as well as US and international government sites.
The comprehensive resource topics
include: "Email, Internet and Privacy," Employee Rights & Legal," "Office
Politics & Interpersonal," "Strategies & Tactics" and "Workplace
Psychology." A comprehensive listing of proven books is also available.
Badbossology.com
is completely free and provides several features for users:
-
Tell A Friend: visitors can easily email
specific news or resource links to a friend or business colleague.
-
Vault: users can "bookmark" individual
news or resource links along with their own personal notes in a secure
repository for fast future reference.
-
Comments and Questions: visitors can
make comments and ask questions regarding any news or resource item.
-
Discussion Forums: visitors can take
part in general discussion forums to post comments and questions for others.
-
Search: a keyword search can be used
to quickly find relevant materials or users can pick from a list of common
search terms.
-
"Badbossology Headlines:" visitors can
receive a concise Newsletter that highlights key news and resources from
the US and around the world via email or RSS feed.
Companies can benefit from all of the
site's content and especially from the resources for bosses, executives
and board members, and from the management discussion forum. And
the following excerpt from the site reflects its balanced approach:
"We
want to go on the record about the importance of supporting and acknowledging
good bosses. No one is perfect so we shouldn't expect perfection from a
boss. Bosses are often juggling numerous and sometimes intense stressors
themselves - some of them we are aware of and often many we are not. If
you have a less than perfect boss who's heart is in the right place, there
are likely to be politically savvy and sensitive ways to help him or her
and improve yourself in the process."
A Gallup survey of over 1,000,000 employees
found that if a company is losing good people, more than any other single
reason, the cause is their immediate supervisor: "People leave managers
not companies ... in the end, turnover is mostly a manager issue."
Gallup also found poorly managed workgroups are an average of 50% less
productive and 44% less profitable than well managed groups. Corporate
leaders can demonstrate their commitment to addressing this problem within
their organization and support the site by participating in Badbossology.com's
sponsorship program.
