Most importantly, they must possess the qualities of a leader that would eventually change one's future for the better and take you places you've never been. Following a great leader helps us eventually be great leaders too. Ram Sharma, School Of Inspired Leadership, Gurgaon, India.

Yes, I agree a basic mismatch in values between your and your boss, particularly if your boss is the CEO who influences the entire culture, will likely make for a friction-filled work experience as well. Regards, Michelle Hi Pawel,

My answer was I value cooperation over rivalry (because that's how I work with people), but it later appeared we were incompatible with that person. Then I didn't put much thought about the situation, but now I would re-think joining the company once again. It all yielded less then pleasant results. Anyway, my point is it had nothing to do with time span. The problem was a difference in approach to people and in management styles. It soon appeared the guy wasn't a leader for me, not even close. With my current experience I'd probably know it instantly, but I'm not sure if this would make me to resign. After all I've learned there very much.
