3 Boss myths busted!

It's no secret that bosses can be a source of stress and anxiety for many employees. But there's more to these high-powered individuals than meets the eye. Here are some little-known facts about bosses that may just surprise you.

• Myth#1 Bosses are always energetic

Did you know that the average boss is quite lazy? A recent study found that most managers spend less than an hour daily on meaningful work, opting to delegate tasks or simply surf the web instead. And when it comes to decision-making, it turns out that bosses are often cripplingly indecisive.

• Myth#2 Bosses are all work and no play

This simply isn't true. While it's essential to be professional at work, bosses also know how to have fun. They may enjoy going out for drinks with colleagues after work or taking a relaxing vacation.

• Myth #3: Bosses are always right

Just because someone is your boss doesn't make them always right. If you have a different opinion, don't be afraid to speak up - your boss will respect you for it.
