A short YouTube commentary by Donald Burns criticizing complacent managers. The speaker claims bad managers are lazy, equate job titles with personal brand, avoid improving skills or visibility, skip training/books/industry events, neglect self-care, and merely 'bide time' at work until the weekend. The tone is critical and blunt.
Bad managers are lazy. They don't take time to develop a personal brand. They think that the title on their name tag or on their business card is their brand. They don't want to become better at their job. They're really just okay with being average, which is sad, and it really sucks. They don't want to go to training. They don't want to read books. They don't want to attend industry events. They don't want to take care of themselves. They just want to sit in the office, bide their time, do their hours, and wait for the weekend.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
