Managing Different Types of Bosses
The Perfectionist: Jonathan Antin
Management Style:
I am tough. I am hardcore. I have no patience for impatience or for anything other than perfection.
What he doesn't tolerate:
- Looking unprofessional - It means you don’t care – so then I don’t care so they can find a job somewhere else. I don’t have a dress code like many salons in LA, people don’t have to wear all black. My employees are artists, so they should be given some room to express themselves but you better show up looking great! You better have a great look or you can go home.
Three most critical things employees must know:
1 - Do not screw around.
2 - Don’t take me away from what I’m doing in order to make your career more productive.
3 - Don’t tell me “I’m not sure”

The Innovator: Hal Rosenbluth
Management Style:
- I am told by my employees that they respect and like my ability to relate to all people with all different kinds of backgrounds. I am always interested in what is going on in the lives of my
employees outside of work and am interested to know what their career aspirations are. I try to focus on the needs of my employees and I am always trying to remove any obstacles that get in their way of getting the job done. It is like gardening, I try to remove the weeds.
Three Keys to dealing with a boss of this style:
1 - Authenticity – you can’t change who you are when you come into work everyday. Be real, be genuine and you’ll succeed.
2 - You should want to have a good laugh everyday – and at that, learn to laugh at yourself. You can’t take yourself too seriously.
3 - The ability to say when you did something wrong, or could do something better. We’re all human, so it’s about realizing our opportunities and capitalizing on our strengths.
