Xenios Thrasyvoulou of PeoplePerHour comments “It would seem Britain is a nation of business leaders in waiting â€" nearly 40% of Brits are frustrated in their current roles, believing that they could do a better job than their boss. “In a struggling economy, it is not as easy to find another job as it used to be. British ambition is high, and employees are coming out of the shadows and want to take control. If people feel they could do a better job than their boss, they should be encouraged to follow their dreams and become their own boss.” RELATED:  7 Phrases Employees Want to Hear from their Boss
