Wearing My Moms Girdle

As you get to be boss?

(Although this is oriented to the area of \u200b\u200bsystems is I work in what I think is easily applicable to other areas of work)

ever wondered as his boss came to that position if it is a completely gross? And realized that most managers have no idea of \u200b\u200bwhat they do? How could someone who knows nothing is your boss? Easy, anyone with a few years of experience can confirm what I have explained here, to become chief must be a mediocre employee during the first years of his work, be patient and have a little luck, that it.

As the race starts a boss? No one is named boss because if you have to take that first step and that is what it is relatively difficult ... or very easy. A chief began his career as every employee, from the bottom (unless the owner's son or nephew of the CEO, but those cases are not the ones discussed here) and usually the future leaders are bad employees. At the start treating it as a normal new employee, give things to do but still have problems, their solutions are incredibly mediocre or not work at all, apart from losing confidence because you never finish anything on time. The boss who takes the time he realizes what the employee is mediocre but usually after half-trained employees are the bosses do not fire them because they get to the point where a person can be productive is very expensive, it applies the best known evil than an unknown good. So what to do? the boss decided to give minor tasks mediocre employee responsibility, things that are repetitive and do not need much analysis, usually that means that the future head termini by testing or writing the documentation. The "poor" future boss becomes a pariah and other employees or the ride or would have hurt not knowing that in the future this "gross" may be your boss.

The future leader has a quality, not achicopala, so with great pride begins to live his new world of repetitive testing and documenting things done by others, a nightmare for us but he likes it. Time passes and your boss to see that the man has been doing well with those tasks that nobody wants, decides to do what everyone does in such situations, it gives more of those boring work and live lives as the head of fool little things begin to happen winded that technically are your responsibility, so making him the future head end expense reports the head, write minutes of meetings and to answer your emails. As people like the easy life and always go by car, the boss decides it is easier if you load your personal slave here and there, so he can do all these tasks smacks directly. And there is where the future head start learning the art of being boss. With the passage of time, the future leader and is known as the company works to perfection, as does the bureaucracy and who are the ones who really decide everything. Do not be surprised when you go out there walking with the future boss and this Sutanito and Perencejo greet, people who you most years leading the company that has never had the slightest idea who they are and when asked who the future boss are them, he quietly answered, that is Sutanito Perencejo that of the Comptroller and Purchasing.

Finally comes the day that the future leader will give the momentous step, one of those periods in which there is excess work and everybody is suppressed and "tits up", that apocalyptic day the chief took the decision to give a projective chiquito the future boss and he can not handle it alone. The future boss has every chance to succeed, and that takes time seeing how it all works, besides, you did not know, those "projects" never fail because in the end you end up doing two or three people who really know the subject and never generate shocks that require management decisions. That day you begin to understand what happened when the fool who sat next to him and not even know how to change the PC IP to come and say: Let's see Ramirez, I need to calculate these development efforts, here are the specifications , hopefully I can have it by tomorrow afternoon tomorrow because I have a reunion with the client and I have to pass the proposal.

Now that you know how things work is simple, if you still are young and want to be boss one day, only has to be mediocre and very patient. Because if you are good at what he does will become "indispensable" and will do the same for the rest of his life.
