Want to know what your boss is really made of?  Want to know what your boss’ values are?  Want to know where you stand with your boss?  <\/p>\n

The following is a list of ways to find out:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Watch him or her when the pressure is mounting.  The best time to do this is during times of uncertainty in the business model.  Could be merger rumors or the second straight quarter of lower profits.<\/li>\n
  2. Ask him or her if they’ve heard of ebosswatch.com<\/a>.  This site helps workers rate their current and former bosses.  <\/li>\n
  3. Determine how frequently your boss communicates with you…as in meaningful.  Lack of meaningful interaction is a sure sign that something is wrong.<\/li>\n
  4. Ask him or her about what the better future (casting vision) looks like.  Give them credit for personal or business.  If they can’t answer that question, then they’re just along for the ride.<\/li>\n
  5. Ask them what they’ve done in the last 6 months to grow as a leader.  Watch the eyes on this one.  A lot of blinking is a sign of fear and confusion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keep in-mind; there is an art to doing the above.  <\/p>\n
