Opinion always be grateful to the senior who appreciates your efforts and success, but every now and then you make you work on the groundwork. (IStockphoto) Summary The era of hard task masters seems to be in his dusk. Yet it is unlikely that bosses that only have words of encouragement will help your career. We must appreciate the few tough bosses that survive. In the middle of a rushed news cycle, I once managed to get about six Bylline credits in the newspaper I worked for. I am excited and take screen grabs from the articles that have had my name and shared it with my family in the hope that the Word spreads. Until a few years ago, my score of personal relationships was more than that of my social media followers. As a result, oral was the best option for that ego kick. The greedy sensation that comes with it appears many times in a single issue of A News Daily, was wiped out with one call at about 8:30 p.m. It was from my boss, who in turn received a call from a Superbos. There was an assignment of 75 words that appeared in another newspaper that we missed. It was a regulatory filing that I forgot to check or perhaps noticed, but forgot to follow up. And although the call started with a virtual clap on the back for many stories done, my mistake was raised soon enough. I was instructed to follow up the report of the competitive newspaper and remind it to keep up with all regulatory files on my cover, so that there would be no such “mist” again.

I was actually angry with them because I robbed my sense of achievement. Now, many years later, I can make up the lesson the phone call taught me. If you enjoy a good day’s work, you meet a need for self -confirmation, but staying on one’s honors too long can be detrimental to the professional growth. Always be grateful to the senior who appreciates your efforts and success, but also bring you to the ground of reality again and then. The boss who has nothing but kudu to offer is likely to play a very small role in your career success. Since companies nowadays simply advocate the need for empathy and a gentle approach, a tough boss can not only be undervalued, the person can even attract whispers of mockery. A tough boss is almost a synonym for a ‘toxic boss’. Over time, however, many of us have realized that a soft boss can also be a weak one, a quiet boss can be a strong one, and a popular boss can be a non-confrontational yes-man for his or her own superiors in the work hierarchy. And a tough boss can very well be the best boss you’ll ever have. The first years of work under a tough boss can be meager, especially if one is new in the workplace and a young afterwards. It is similar to having the narrow teacher in kindergarten who screamed you because you fell out of the line, admonished you because you dragged your feet when all you wanted to be picked up, and made you realize that you were just another child among many. But in later years, you learn to appreciate the narrow teacher’s role in that confident passage that you have developed and how it distinguishes you from those who have a sloppy sky about it.

Some of these tough bosses can be sparing in their appreciation, and it can gnaw your confidence in an era when the ratification is so easy to achieve (for example on social media). Why is your boss so cozy with praise? It is a common lament. But what you may not realize is that it works better for your career than you realize, especially where it is most important. Judging an assessment of your weaknesses and threats besides your strengths and opportunities, is very important, even for individuals in a career context. Tough bosses may not have to lift their voices if a curved eyebrow is enough to convey their disappointment. Whether they act as mentors or not, it helps you learn how to become resilient. Of the bosses that were difficult with me, I learned to carry out my view after throwing them out of any emotional outpouring or knee-press response. Surprisingly, they were not uncertain. Instead, they also quickly accepted their mistakes. I believe that women tend to benefit more from difficult bosses than with those who go on them easily. In the corporate world, male bastions are difficult to break in, and the male boss that makes the female employee easily take her out of the race. Not from any hostility, but perhaps because it reflects a gender of men and women who respond differently to work pressure. Gender vessels often result in work roles being passed along a trace of male successors due to a ‘comfort factor’.

Their names come up in stories of the ‘good old days’ that are said to regain new recruits. This refers to times when no one spoke of a balance between work and life and new employees are expected to devote the first decade of their careers to hard work. Only after that was someone serious enough for higher rankings. Bosses are nowadays unlikely to get difficult. And that’s a pity for me. With their sharpness blunt, their attempt to deliver positive reinforcement everywhere can be a formula for mediocrity. The few tough bosses that survive are still needed. In reality, their methods can inspire others to harden. India Inc. it needs for tasks that a soft touch cannot achieve. Their no-nonsense approach can get the mollycoddled to perform better. Bosses that are too accommodating are too high. The author writes about workplaces and education at Mint. Catch all the business news, market news, news reports and latest news updates on Live Mint.
