A truly great boss cares for her people so much she doesn’t strive to be the best but the worst, so everyone around her shines brighter by comparison.

This could use some rewriting before you post it on instagram with sparkles all around it. I agree, “striving to be the worst” is not what you want to say

Yeah dunno about “striving to be the worst”.

There’s a difference between letting your people shine, and being bad on purpose.

lol “striving to be the worst” is stupid.

If you need your boss to be their worst in order for you to shine by comparison, your agency has a big hiring problem.

Of course. You can’t push people up unless you’re at the very bottom.

This is the stupidest post I've seen here in a while. It reeks of misguided millennial entitlement. A good manager tries to hire and support people who have the capacity to outshine them but they don't take a dive. They lead by example and show what good is. Ewww.

Try gen z. Millennials are your aging 30-somethings too jaded to even care about being the best or worst

I think saying “she” was for extra intersectionality wisdom points—but going around the agency saying your female ECD is the worst person there is gonna get you in trouble

Caring for your people through the “I spilled ketchup on my blouse so you could score a date with Jim from accounts” does wonders for your teams emotional health.

🤯 This explains why people say I make leadership look so effortless!

You’re confusing “Mentor” with “Martyr”.

Dude, stop quoting Michael Scott to Fishbowl. They don’t like it.

Why would your strategy to elevating your team be being the worst? There's also nothing really actionable here, and I'm not sure you'd even understand the point without already having the knowledge this is meant to convey.

Lovely intent but the execution is terrible.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
