May 3, 2017, Prescott-
I have always had difficulty
with Type A personalities,
if their insatiable drive
works in tandem,
with a need to embarrass
co-workers and subordinates,
by calling them out,
publicly.
It’s one thing,
to want to be in charge.
Many great things
have been achieved,
by the driven.
It’s quite another,
to want to be in charge,
and need to put
others down,
in a quest for power.
Seems that the more
things unravel,
the more there is
a tendency to blame,
to micromanage,
and to misjudge.

It’s happened, on several occasions, throughout my career, and probably most other “Betas” can say the same thing. It is usually the downfall of the “Large and in charge” personage, if he or she ends up driving away the very people who are in supporting roles, often over failure on our part to observe all rules to the letter.

Type A personalities usually drive me away pretty quickly.

Hi Gary! I’ve switched to wordpress now… So good to read your post/poem. We are going through a reorganization at work and part of the problem is micromanagement. The Dunning-Kruger Effect is front and center and seems to be the mantle that the supervisor is wearing….
