6 Ways Michael Scott is Actually a Great Boss

We all know the hilarious workplace comedy, The Office.  In the US version, Michael Scott is played brilliantly by Steve Carell.  He is the ringleader of his paper-selling employees. Although there is a very long list of why he would probably not last in a real life managerial position, here are six reasons why we love Michael Gary Scott.

1. The way his office is decorated.

“World’s Best Boss” mug, an American flag, and some chattering teeth.  Ever noticed that framed award hanging on the wall behind his chair?  It’s not academically related – its a certificate of authenticity for owning a Seyko timepiece.  Classic.

2. His ability to bring humor into situations.

Despite The Office being a hilarious show, it also can touch on some heavy topics.  Mr. Scott might not handle them in the most appropriate of ways, but he knows how to make people laugh (whether or not they are laughing WITH him or AT him).

3. His love of parties.

Birthdays, Christmas, THE DUNDIES! He’s got The Party Planning Committee hard at work.

4. The genuine love he has for his employees

When he heard that Jim was in love with Pam…he told the whole office.  But, he gave Jim really good advice, “never give up.” Jim took that to heart and even in the toughest of times he held onto the hope that he and Pam would end up together.  Later in the series, Jim and Pam get married and have 2 adorable kids.

5. He is a very successful salesman

You wouldn’t guess it by the way he conducts himself in the workplace, but he gets the job done.  Through witty words and the power of persuasion, he closes a lot more deals than you would think.

6. He wrote a screenplay called “Threat Level Midnight”

Agnet Michael Scarn takes on evil in this action-packed thriller.  Characters include: Samuel (the butler), Catherine Zeta Jones, and Goldenface.  Dying to know more?  Check this out.
