I think that this is kinda great technique. At my work I have a boss, who is always trying to control the situation, he is trying to control everything around him so I think this might make him to be more outgoing I guess. Thanks a lot.

I think it depends on why your boss is feeling insecure. If it’s because he’s afraid of failure just in his new role because, say, he has taken on a big new challenge, then the control freak side of him may subside as he gets to grips with his job abd you can help in this respect (which helps you too). If, however, he is just an insecure character and is like that in all areas of his life, he will never change and you might as well face up to your choice – accept that he is a sub-standard manager and just live with it or start looking for another job.

He actually advises frustrated employees to not show their annoyance, to not confront their boss and critisise their controlling nature, because this will cause the manager to worry even more. Australian Detox

There is a saying that if you can’t beat them join them. This is certainly interesting points. Come to think if you’ve always hide and ignore your boss surely will buzz you every time and any time during working hours but don’t compete being your boss being one of a controlled freak.

Remarkable points you’ve shared. Thank you for sharing.

If you don’t trust the people that you appoint to complete the work that you are responsible for, you’re in trouble. You might as well do it yourself at that point.

Indeed, I think one of the key lessons I’ve learnt from working at a professional firm, is that delegating tasks for which you hold ultimate responsibility is an extremely difficult thing to do.

Good points. Its so easy to forget that people often have fears and insecurities too. We always assume that such traits are just the preserve of ourselves and don’t afflict others.
