The BossMy chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

I was that bossand someone who worked for me, but has since become a friend, still tells everyone of his introduction to me:
"We'd been told that this new manager was coming in as the project was failing. He'd sorted out other failing projects before, blah blah blah. I was expecting some suit to turn up - instead this bloke in jeans and wearing a T shirt saying "Stoned" arrives in our section, introduces himself and says 'It's a nice day outside, lets have this meeting on the grass' and buys us all ice-creams".
That's how to get your team motivated...
...and yes, the project succeeded.
And yes, I am eating a croissant and drinking a glass of wine as I type this.
[Sadly, can't talk about mad psycho bosses as all of mine have been aces. Ho hum]
