Having worked in an organization, chances are that you have come across many work issues and having a ‘bad boss’ was one of them. Learning how to deal with them is important not only for your career but also your health. By merely watching someone get bullied makes one sick. To tame the boss takes a lot of patience, courage and an assertive nature. It’s like handling a toddler.
Find out what makes your boss angry
You need to figure out what makes him angry and then avoid that. There can be certain situations, certain people or simply certain times when your boss starts acting inconsiderably. Closely monitor their behavior and try not to further aggravate the situation at that time.
Find out what makes your boss happy
Every person has certain triggers – positive and negative. Test and see what lifts up your boss’s energies. For example, food, flowers, nature, partying, jokes or anything that changes their attitude. Once that is done, then go on with your important discussions.
Praise your boss regularly
For all the guidance and even criticism that is provided to you from your boss, say thank-you to him or her for being such an inspiring mentor and for possessing good administrative skills.
