She is harsh
And the world feels her wrath
When she speaks, she speaks at you
Never a conversation you want to have
Her opinions are one sided,
Her directness is bitter
Many cower underneath her fury
While I desire to stand beside her
I desire to join in force with her
Because of her willingness to fight
And although she may seem overbearing at times
She always does what she believes is right
Which is a quality I, myself possess
In which I have been criticized for having before
But she and I, we have this same trait
That gives us purpose in what we're working for
You can tell me that she's the toughest boss
And that I should stay far and clear away
Tell me stories about how she's sent you home
In tears at the end of your work day...
While you may prefer a more compassionate boss
Id rather work under someone who pushes me
Someone who gives me more than I can handle
Which will challenge my limits and strengthen my ability.
My boss made one of my associates cry today and although I felt badly for her, I also felt badly for my boss. Everybody sees her as an enemy and someone who's cruel, when in fact she is just very direct. Believe me, I have felt her wrath and I have been pulled outside and screamed at, but never would I ask to be on anyone else's team. She works hard for her team and I can see that she wants us to succeed.
