Helicopter Boss


the helicopter leader, manager or supervisor is one who is continually interfering with their direct reports, when not asked – constantly checking in, suggesting, fixing, educating, advising, improving, one-upping, interrogating, explaining, and otherwise “bothering” folks, when folks are not asking them for help or support.

helicopter bosses often have some psycho-social-emotional need that prevents them from leaving others alone. often this need in rooted in some sense of insecurity, or in a need for control and power, or a need for perfection, or even a need to be needed (i.e, seen, heard, acknowledged, appreciated, or loved). interfering and bothering others is how they -ssuage one or more of these needs.
