WHAT IF: Bosses and lowest level employees traded places for a day?
Think what kind of empathy, understanding, and appreciation might develop at BOTH ends of the business ladder. Sometimes “Bosses” have started out in the “lower rungs” of the business they work for or own, but if it has been too many years, they may have forgotten what it was like “down there.” This is especially true in larger corporations where managers and upper level staff come out of a college setting and never experience the “bottom rungs” of that ladder.
On the flip side, those who work for an hourly wage may not understand the pressures at the top. They might think it would be “easy” to be “the boss.” They might not realize that their bosses put in long days sometimes, too. They might not have any idea of the problems that come with running a business.
What do you say, people in the business world? How about giving this a try sometime?
