Description

You can't manage an unmanageable boss. You can try changing your behavior; adopting a different personality style; using fancy communication or negotiation techniques; practicing conflict management skills; walking on egg shells or walking on water (all the things other books suggest), but none of those strategies will work with a boss who wants to be bad. You need a different strategy to ward off that kind of evil. You need to get inside your boss's head and figure out what makes her or him tick so you can handle any situation thrown at you. Then you need to be prepared with counter-strategies to ward off any offense. This book tells you how to do handle an evil boss--not just the obnoxious or dumb types, but the ones who enjoy hurting people. It tells you what to do and exactly how to go about it--just what you hope to find in a book like this, but rarely do. If you're searching for a job, this book will also show you how to identify the worst kinds of bad bosses during an interview so you can avoid getting into a bad situation or going from the frying pan into the fire. Each chapter is divided into the following sections: How to Recognize This Type Three Real-Life Examples What This Type Wants from You What It's Like to Report to This Type A Survival Quiz to Help You Evaluate Your Situation Strategies for Surviving This Type How to Avoid This Type During a Job Interview Consequences of Continuing to Report to This Type
