We, in Romania, have a deep-rooted typology of “Chief” in our culture. Servility is a side effect of many decades of communism and dependence on the goodwill of others.
I see many people's egos inflated by their work position like a paradoxical balloon that only contains a void. It is the result of promotion in important positions of a very special type of person. The “unfinished”, as I call them. People that bring with them too many personal frustrations and who, once fixed in higher chairs, metamorphose into not very enlightened despots.
I have witnessed these changes many times and taken action when it was up to me. It is specific to smaller, family-owned companies, where nepotism is... natural, but it also exists in large corporations.
There is no future for Bosses...
I don't think the species will survive.
The communication, the standard of living, and the infrastructure is growing and will bring in more options to the employees, who will leave the sulfurous bosses.
The Bosses will sink into the darkness of their own fears and frustrations and disappear at some point.
It will be fine!
The culture of the future leader can no longer be “a Boss and the rest” culture, it will be a Servant Leader type, an Agile-like culture.
The leaders of the future are modest, self-sufficient, sympathetic, and reliable and are being perceived as business locomotives.
In Norway, even the CEO has a day when he will gather the coffee mugs and put them in the washing machine. I admire these people and I learned a lot from them.
