Whether you’re a corporate hippie or an advertising junkie, in your professional lives, you’ll encounter a number of different types of bosses. Each of them will have their own quirks, their own processes, and their own mentalities. Here are some of the most (un)common type of bosses!<\/p>\n

The \u201cI own you Bosses\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re very lucky, you might not encounter one of these kinda bosses. Bosses who literally take on your life and usually take the crown when it comes to horrible bosses. These kinda bosses are always willing to ruin your life to get what they want and they expect you to be grateful for letting them do it. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cPassive Aggressive\u201d Bosses<\/b><\/p>\n

The passive aggressive is perhaps nowhere more irritating. The passive aggressive bosses avoid confrontation at all costs. They send memos instead of making direct requests; they frame bad news and unfair decisions in language that is difficult to oppose; they hide behind company policy and pass the buck in order to avoid taking responsibility for unpopular decisions. Their passive, \u201ceverything\u2019s fine\u201d demeanor leaves employees feeling not only disempowered and taken advantage of but ultimately resentful and just plain annoyed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cToo cool to be a boss\u201d Bosses\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Those young, dynamic bosses who have rocketed from zero to zillions in record time. Run their company with a steely grip, and a forced smile but also floundering, one crisis at a time. These bosses are winners of the gen and stealers of the hearts with their high-end vibe who treat their employee as friends and are always up for office celebrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u201cMail it to me\u201d Bosses<\/b><\/p>\n

These are the bosses who won\u2019t consider any event, matter, request, or purpose unless you have put it up on a mail. Mail, for them, is the primary source of communication and approvals and disapprovals on mail make-up their entire day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cMother-figure\u201d Bosses<\/b><\/p>\n

Having a mother-figur<\/span>e boss can be lucky as well as annoying too. Someone who is always supervising your actions inside the office like what you\u2019re eating, if you\u2019re smoking or not, if you\u2019re unwell or if you\u2019re going late from home, they\u2019ll insist upon dropping you. While sometimes, they can make you feel close to your mother, they can also make you go annoyed beyond limits.\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cUnforgiving Perfectionist\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Most closely related to the \u201cI Own You\u201d boss is the unforgiving perfectionist. These bosses rule only through fear and threats.\u00a0Their \u201cleadership\u201d style is, besides of course being morally detestable, totally unsustainable. With no promise of reward, employees will do only what they have to in order to avoid punishment. Imagine Dearth Vadar from Star Wars. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cNot so Interested\u201d Bosses<\/b><\/p>\n

These are the bosses with no m<\/span>anagerial skills, no interest in being a leader or someone who simply isn\u2019t competent enough to take on a leadership role. These bosses pop up when an undeserving heir takes over their parent\u2019s company and is so caught up in their newfound sense of power or access to wealth that everyone in the company \u2013 and the company itself \u2013 suffers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cGoody-Good\u201d Bosses<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those with the high self-esteem throughout the day and those who never hesitate to insert themselves into social situations, always believe in what they do for the good of the company, and even hold a roast when their employees criticize and make fun of them. They truly believe that they\u2019re caring, thoughtful, and funny and that their employees see them this way as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u201cGo Get It\u201d Boss<\/b><\/p>\n

Now there are the rarest kinda bosses. You won\u2019t find them everywhere but if you do, consider yourself lucky. While they\u2019ll grind you to bits in order to leverage company profits, they\u2019ll also give you the bestest parties & perks. They follow the principle of \u201cWork Hard, Party Harder\u201d. Picture Jordan Belfort from Wolf of the Wall Street.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
