Based on my decades in the corporate world, bosses who are insecure about their own abilities or position resort to bullying to maintain control or diminish the perceived competence of their subordinates. Such bosses see bullying as a way to assert their authority and maintain a power imbalance. They believe that by making their capable subordinates feel small, they can control them more easily and prevent them from outshining their bosses. What are some of your experiences with insecure and incapable bosses?
