THE BOSS AND SUBORDINATE 2

 When I was in active HR practice, there was a popular dictum "Think International and Act Local" In my own definition of Bosses herein representing Leadership, I am acting local.

In my clime the leadership thinking and acting is completely local,hence in the mix of prosperity, we remain the poverty capital the world.

WHY?

We practice Kakistocratic Kleptocracy. Some of the characteristics of KK are hereby defined below:

- Nepotistic Boss - Generally I

worked in several companies,

 which included four Public

 Limited Companies (Plc), in all no

  Nigerian wanted yours truly to be

 employed because I am from a

 minority ethnic group. I only got employed by a direct order of foreigners.

- Gossip Boss - There are leaders who never have character to speak directly to subordinates. In one of those Plcs, there were people assigned to report whatever I said back to them. Trust yours truly with excess capacity to speak my mind, I did disappoint.

- Pull Him Down Boss - Throughout my work life, I never had a boss who was as educated as I was. There was a particular one, who asked me to be in an Industrial Relations meeting, when I was already scheduled to represent the company outside and after the internal meeting, he issued yours truly a query for failing to attend the external meeting.

- Secretive Boss - There are bosses who want you to do the right thing without clear instructions and when you fail to deliver, it is held against you. Once, I was given an instruction which I carried out and my written detailed process was what saved yours truly from the advanced effects.

I don't my to hear from you the international typologies of what I have described and will continue with in the next two weeks.

EMPLOYEE STEALING 7

 I worked in this particular company that pays terribly disproportionate Junior staff to Managerial salaries.

The above great disparity notwithstanding, one of the Clerk's secondary home was a beer parlour where he spent freely. A second junior staff on supervisory grade change his car twice in three years, while I the manager could not afford a single tyre of a car. These two staff, while one was in charge of purchasing, the second was in charge of processing the sales of scraps in the company.

WICKED MANAGEMENTS AND CALLOUS TRADE UNIONS 5

 As we conclude this Content on Wicked Managements and Callous Trade Unions, we shall share with you what should be done by both Management and Trade Union in protecting workers from unfair labour Practices. Last week, we identified some of the National Economic Challenges and the contributions of both Management and Trade Union to unfair labour Practices. The way out of Unfair Labour Practices falls on both the Management and the Trade Union. They are:- - Management and Trade Union must commit to adhering to the Codified Rules of Engagement. - Management shall not go out of the labour policies and procedures of the organisation. - There shall be no secrets in the management workers affairs. - Salaries, allowances and pensions must be paid as at when due (30 days cycle). - Workers shall be given fair hearing. - The Trade Union must be carried along on all issues of discipline and job loses. From the above, what comes out like we said previously, the Trade Unions unfair labour Pract...

HR MISTAKES BY YOURS TRULY 8

 I have a first degree in Sociology and Anthropology from the best university then in that discipline in Nigeria, the University of Benin, Benin City. During my undergraduate days, I decided not to earn naira on graduation, so when my course mates were rushing to major in Organizational Behaviour, I opted for Medical Sociology. I equally decided to go on to obtain a Masters Degree in Epidemiology so as to ensure that I work with either WHO or UNICEF where I would be paid in dollars. However, my university of choice was then being shut every other three months. This was against another decision of yours truly that I shall not spend more than 12 months for the masters program.
