New Boss
You gotta love when there is a new hire or company re-organization and you are stuck with a new manager.
Manager Memes
Making an error is human, but blaming someone else for it shows management potential. This manager meme is unfortunately the making of a poor leader.
When you are drowning at work and underpaid, but thankfully management recognizes your efforts with a free pizza lunch. Employees want time off and/or money, not free pizza lunches!

Brown Nosing Memes
So this brown nosing meme is something most – if not all of us can relate to. There’s always someone who has their nose too far up the boss’ ya know.
Leadership Humor For Good Leaders
Being a good leader is essential in being a great boss. We all have had those bad bosses with poor leadership skills. A good leader inspires and motivates their team to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
This leadership meme does drive home a good point. You don’t have to have the title in order to lead people by example.
That said, know your worth.
Boss Vs Leader
There’s a difference between being a boss and being a leader. As a boss, it’s important to create a positive and supportive work environment where your team feels valued and appreciated.
This boss leader meme is a great summary of the what business guru Tony Robbins says.
This gives a great explanation of what the difference is between a boss and a leader. Coach your employee, generate enthusiasm, fix the breakdown, give credit where credit is due and ask don’t command your employees.
Follow Your Leader
Leaders are meant to be followed, but if your’s is an idiot – don’t.
Leader Motivation
We rise by lifting other people up. If every leader could just get this in their head, just imagine what a better place the world and work environment would be!
When You Have a Bad Boss
Bad bosses can pay their employees more, but don’t. Get creative with that budget. The amount of fluff that is allowed for various line items but not for employee salaries always blows my mind! Re-negotiate that Sales Force estimate and move some money so that your employees can get paid.
Next on the list of crappy things bad managers do, using your ideas without giving you credit.
Another bad boss move, telling you how to do you job when they have no idea how to do your job.
Remember if you think you have a bad boss – there are people out there working having to now report to Elon Musk.
Bad bosses don’t trust their employees.
Last on this topic of bad bosses is being a jerk when your employees call in sick. Yes, there are always going to be team members who lie, use and abuse sick time – but you have to trust your employees. And if your employee is sick, let them rest. The last thing you want is a sick employee coming into the office making the rest of the team ill.
Unfortunately, bad management often thinks they make for a great boss. Thoughts and prayer to anyone dealing with a manager who is a narcissist.
Micromanager Memes
Another sign of a bad boss is micromanagement. I once had a boss who demanded that I CC her on every single email that I sent. This was in addition to weekly logs of everything that I did. Her leadership style was a complete disaster to say the least.
Micromanagement refers to a management style where a boss or supervisor closely monitors and controls the work of their employees.
When you are a strong willed employee who has a boss that tries to manage your every move. This micromanagement meme shows it best.
So, while it’s important to stay on top of things as a manager, it’s also important to give your team the space and autonomy they need to do their best work.
I have a kid who works retail and this is his manager, watching his every move.
Good Boss
We talked about the bad, now let’s share talk about good bosses!
Ask your employees for work suggestions. Sure, alcohol may be something you can’t provide while in the office but hey at least you asked.
