Here are 7 signs you have a narcissistic boss -- and why that can make your life a nightmare
Narcissistic people land leadership positions because they"act like they know what they're doing, and do that with confidence," Morin says. Those workplace traits are considered especially valuable during times of crisis, like the Covid-19 pandemic or a potentially looming recession.
Narcissistic bosses purposely surround themselves with employees who shower them with compliments, valuing them over other employees who might do better work, Morin says. "They might say, 'Well, why can't you work? Is it really that bad? Are you trying to get out of doing work?'" Morin says, adding that they'll scoff at requests for time off, deadline extensions or help with tasks.Some bosses can lose their temper on occasion. But narcissistic bosses use anger and aggression as a"manipulation tool" to control employees at work, Morin says.
For example, a narcissistic boss might let employees book conference rooms at the office, but reserve the right to kick anyone out at a moment's notice if they deem one of their own meetings more important. Or, they might say employees can't work from home, but"I can do that whenever I feel like it," Morin says.You'll never see a narcissistic boss admit they're wrong, Morin says.
They might credit for their company's big jump in profits, or even stage a problem so they can be first to solve it, she adds:"It all ties in with their love for admiration. They want to be thanked for supposedly saving the company."Speaking with authority can be a great leadership trait — but when narcissistic bosses do it, they often use it as a way to inflate their own reputations, Morin says.
