Why is that our bosses loves to asked us for ideas instead of him giving?

Question

Is it that he just used the ideas for himself to get a better post or increment or be the best manager in the company, why make use of the staffs ideas.

Answer 1

I hope he gives bonuses for it.

Put that in the suggestion box.

Answer 2

It could just be that he wonders if anyone other than himself has a brain. Being in control of a bunch of mindless idiots is not fun.

Answer 3

Well, I am not in your shoes and don't know the whole situation. However, I think it's good he asks for ideas. This way you have your input. Not a lot of bosses/companies ask for ideas. They just do whatever they want and don't even consider their employees. Sometimes they do things the employees don't like - some employees wish they were in your shoes.  

Answer 4

Because that's how the corporate ladder works, don't expect it to be different anywhere else.
