I Am BAD bosss



I have a reputation in the industry as a demanding and strict boss.

My approach to management is unique, and it’s something that both my employees and peers recognize.

One common question people have is why I don’t provide instant answers when my team asks questions.

The reason is simple: I believe in fostering a culture of learning and self-reliance.

When team members come to me with questions, they understand that they won’t receive an immediate answer.

This isn’t because I don’t know the answer or don’t want to help, but because I want them to develop critical thinking skills.

Reminding them that I am not like an information desk at Jusco, ready to give instant solutions.

In hashtag#KTP, our goal is to cultivate a learning environment. When someone asks a question, my response is to guide them toward finding the answer themselves. hashtag#learningorganisation

I direct them to relevant resources, articles, SOP or documents and ask them to read and research the topic. Afterward, they must present their understanding and conclusions to me.

This process helps them learn more effectively and encourages them to think critically and independently.

This method isn’t always popular.

Some team members, particularly recent graduates or those with experience from other firms, find it frustrating because it requires more effort and time than simply getting an answer.

This philosophy extends to my managers as well. Those who have worked with me for many years have adapted to and embraced this style.

They understand the value of encouraging their teams to be self-sufficient and resourceful.

By following this approach, we hashtag#ktp build a stronger, more capable team that can handle challenges independently and grow continuously.
