The varieties of insanity available to bosses are no less great than those available to parents. There is the overdeveloped desire to be liked, which leads them to shirk candid and prompt explanations of difficulties and to go in for sentimental embraces, which end up causing infinitely more damage than (the minor pain) they sought to avoid.
老板身上的种种不理智之举不亚于父母们展现出的疯狂。他们期望被下属喜欢的欲望过度膨胀，从而导致他们逃避对困难直言不讳而又及时的说明，而喜欢充满柔情的拥抱，结果造成的损害比他们企图避免的小伤害重很多倍。
Then there is paranoia. How much damage is caused in this world by fragile egos. Whatever the dangers of bumptious4 overconfidence, they are nothing next to the ravages brought about by a fragile self-esteem. It is this that will cause explosions of rage, intemperate waspish5 e-mails and snide6 remarks. Outwardly we live in a free democracy. But it is in the remit of every insane boss to set up miniature autocratic7 kingdoms of suffering, unapparent to outside observers, who can see nothing aside from magazines politely lined up in the lobby area.
还有偏执狂。这个世界上有多少伤害是由脆弱的自负造成的呀？不管自傲过了头有多危险，和脆弱的自尊心造成的灾难相比这都不算什么。正是这种自尊才导致了怒火爆发、邮件过度尖酸、言辞刻毒。
