Business publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Fast Company frequently feature articles describing problem bosses. The articles state that managers with high-tech backgrounds (computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics, etc.) sometimes create employee frustration through insensitive or impersonal behavior. These so-called "nerd" managers are often more focused on technology than on people. They have high IQs but rank low in emotional intelligence,and they lack people skills.The result is often high employee turnover.
Assume you are working for a small business, and the owner is often described by employees as a “nerd" because he spends his time obsessing about technology and ignoring the needs of his employees.
