Being the boss

As an entrepreneur, being a good boss is important for so many tangible and intangible reasons. But everyone thinks he/she is a good boss. What are seven signs you’re a BAD boss? According to an InformationWeek study:

1. The staff quietly passes on guidelines for dealing with you to new employees.

2. You have one or two fanatical acolytes.

3. You never see people walk by your office.

4. Your evaluations come back short and full of generically positive comments, with one very mild criticism.

5. People don't volunteer for your pet projects.

6. Former employees rarely give your name as a reference for new jobs.

7. High turn-over.
