Undercover Boss

The last couple of weeks, there has been a new show on TV called, (ta ta DA) Undercover Boss. No, it's not a superhero show, rather a show that has the head of a major corporation, stepping down to go to several locations in the company. Not as the President or Chief Operating Officer (COO). Instead they arrive at each location, under an assumed name and work for that day as a new hire.

Both, weeks, one of the job sites ended up firing the respective head of the company. The first week the COO. of Waste Management was the Undercover Boss. This past Sunday, it was the President and CEO of Hooters International Tonight, it will be the head of 7-11). Both bosses said they learned a lot from their employees (and employees of the franchises) by looking at their companies from a different perspective then they had previously.

Imagine now, what if your boss went undercover. What do you think they might change in your workplace, if they seen it from a different perspective? Would they get fired from one of the positions they held over the course of the week?
