If I were the boss...who would then be the boss of me?

The experience of being financially independent is where it all starts. Then comes the power of the knowledge and skill. Now you are not only driven by delivering for an income but to experience feelings of recognition, pride and respect, that drives us to succeed.

Unfortunately, we are limited to the responsibilities of our job title and the instructions from our boss. Still we have a mind of our own and this will always cause disagreement or unhappiness within the workplace.

We are brought up to respect the elder, and told to stay quiet. A fear has been enforced upon us to not ask dumb questions and not question the actions of higher authority. Together with the lack of confidence and low self esteem we are doomed to failure. If I were the boss of someone I would like to challenge them to ask questions and speak up. This communication will  be crucial to be able fill the role of a manager.

As each job will add to our experiences and expand our knowledge to our overall career growth, I have learned the simple rule that there will always be someone higher than you are. There will always be someone to report to. Even when I am the boss…there will always be someone or something to be the boss of me. In life we might be the boss of ourselves but still we have our Lords expectations to live up to.

As our responsibilities and income may increase during the years, being the boss means no less than delivering on our expectations; even though the level of our expectations may change, we are always challenged to deliver and so we all have our roles to fill to achieve the organisations objectives.
