i’m not a very good boss. i do all the things i say people shouldn’t do. i think i’ve figured out why. it’s because i’m not a boss. i’m an educator. i’m trying to educate you how to be a good boss, not be a good boss. and i’m not a very good educator in the sense that i don’t hold hands and pray. i am pushy, impatient, unforgiving, principled, ethical and functional. that’s everything people hate in both bosses and educators in terms of personality. but it gets the job done and it raises the ship that’s sunk from the bottom of the ocean. everyone hates me but they respect me — respect in the old fashioned sense of the word, that is, fear and terror and awe. oy!
