I share your "weakness", but I don't view it as a weakness at all. Why would you want to work for a stupid boss anyway? I feel in the end you should enjoy work, since it's a large part of your live anyway.
"Life’s too short and too complicated for people behind desks and people behind masks to be ruining other people’s lives, initiating force against other people’s lives on the basis of their income, their color, their class, their religious beliefs, their whatever…" - Jeff Buckley when talking about the background of the song Eternal Life.

- debacle 13y agoI don't know, I've had my fair share of bosses that were smarter than me. If that's the case, being a good boss really comes down to triage and roadblock removal, along with a bit of back and forth communication. The skillset required to be a good manager doesn't require exceptional intelligence, just basic common sense.
- ChristianMarks 13y agoThere is a gap between stupid bosses and very very smart bosses. My own preference is weighted to the latter, but I recognize this can be career limiting (I have mixed feelings about working for myself, for example).
