The most ineffective workers are systematically moved to the place where they can do the least damage:

management.



 
 



So what does all this mean for you?

• This is why General Managers seldom understand the technical aspects.
• Be flexible and be prepared to do more things.
• Don't get bent out of shape because you are better at your job than your boss could ever be.
• Don't look to your boss for solutions.
• Present solutions, not questions.
• Remember, your boss doesn't really want to do the work. He just wants to look good.
• Don't get a swelled head because you are promoted to be the boss.
• Don't feel as if "Being the Boss" means you are supposed to tell people what to do.
• Don't ever be any good at anything you really don't want to do.
