Learn the Secrets of Pronoun Usage to Avoid a Bad Boss


The next time your potential supervisor interviews you, listen to the pronouns they use to decode their management style—and avoid a potentially bad boss.

If the interviewer says "we" in regards to a particular challenge the team or company faced, it may indicate that he or she deflects responsibility and places blame.
