How do I handle it? We give some recommendations to identify and act intelligently to a head problem.
1. identify it
Did your boss harm behaviors work or simply no empathy? We give a list of misconceptions that often have real bad bosses:
- Leadership means command and control
- If you do not want to work more hours you’re a bad employee
- I use numbers, not people
- You’re lucky to have a job
- If I need something done, I do it myself

- The abusive . Harassment leads to a toxic level, often humiliate their employees and treat them uneducated.
- The micromanager. Unable to delegate, looking to take control of every activity performed.
- Evil Communicator. No sets a useful dialogue with subordinates, does not express what is expected of everyone, not provide necessary direction, making it difficult tasks are completed in a timely manner.

2. Analyze your performance
Since you know what you face, make sure your performance meets the expectations of your post. Given the negative behaviors of an upper, invalid placed in the position of victim without first assessing the quality of our work.
It may even be positive feedback ask your boss or boss, ask how do you assess your performance? What are your areas of opportunity? Doing so may even be a way to encourage a more open discussion about expectations in both directions.
3. Do not take it personal
Always remember that your boss has his own boss. Many of the negative behaviors that have your immediate superior are directly related to the dynamic you have with the person next in the hierarchy.
It also influences the situation of the company, the projects assigned to your department, etc. It is very important to go beyond the superficial facts and analyze what’s around, maybe your boss is difficult challenges you face and you can help.
When we abandon the idea that ‘my boss is wrong with me’ and value the external factors are able to understand the situation globally and act better.
4. Protect your work
For those who have bosses who take the credit team personally, it is important to control and record of activities and projects in which they participated. Any opportunity to highlight individual performance against other higher should be used.
5. Put a high
The ‘boss’ remains for many a figure of unquestioned power, however, remember that an employment relationship is an exchange, not a favor. If your boss has negative attitudes that bother you the first step should always be dialogue.
Be professional and keeps your reactions are loaded with emotionality, this is to clarify what attitudes you seem inappropriate and propose solutions.
6. demand/claim with diplomacy
Your boss failure of communication? Does your area of opportunity is the organization? You can do more than just complain. Come with proposals and show that you understand the business needs. Offer solutions and propose more effective ways to perform tasks is much more positive than just express your dissatisfaction.
7. Disclaimer
Find a new job is always a smart option when the situation is not likely to improve. Sometimes the root of poor working relationship is in the organization of the company itself and not just a boss with poor leadership.
