It’s very difficult to work with a boss like that, it drains you easily of energy and enthusiasm without really accomplishing anything of worth. Huh. Unlucky for his family.

Thanks for sharing Jeff.

My former boss was always putting out fires. 90% of them were started by him. It was really draining to work with him. Fortunately, he sold his business and now he only makes his family miserable.

@ JMom

^__^ Funny how call them, but that seems to be an appropriate ‘brand’ huh. They grab our attention, they steal our time, and consume our energy -afterwards, we’re too tired and frustrated to deal with our own responsibilities.

1) Coach them to change their style and teach them plan and organize;
2) If #1 doesn’t work, give them something to do that will discourage them to start their own fire;
3) If #2 doesn’t work, remove them form the team or reassigned them. I would rather lose one bad apple than lose my entire team.

Hope, that helps.

As I’ve always tell my staff: An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

Thanks for the insight Ahmed! Cheers!

In my point of view problems are less dramatical our should be less dramatical to fires.
If so, there is something wrong with preventing them.
People usually predict and size problems in advance to minimize the risk that a big fire occur.
