The Impostor Leaders

How many times have we all felt or seen this..........

‘My boss really hates me’. Those were his opening words. Then, clearly unhappy, this likeable and competent if somewhat timid young manager proceeded to describe the catalogue of abuse he suffered every day from his boss. It wasn’t just the constant sarcasm and snide remarks. Nor was it the frequent personal attacks on him in front of others. It wasn’t even the unnecessary denigration of his work just to show him who was in charge which got to him. No, he could struggle through all of that and the rest. It was, he said, the sense of helplessness which was hardest to take. That and the loss of self-esteem he was feeling because of his inability to stand up to his boss.
