BOSSING THE BOSS

• Are you vexed with your boss? • Has your boss taken away your peace of mind? • Has your boss made your work and non-work life miserable? • Does your boss always complain, despite you consistently delivering great results? • Is your boss selfish and always putting his/her interests above the work and team? • Does your boss lack adequate courage to take bold decisions when needed?

Well, you are not alone. Most of us have at least one story about dealing with a bad boss. And, for most of us, a bad boss is, unfortunately, just something we silently accept as part of our work life.

Our boss can be the best or worst part of our job. Many of us will keep a less than ideal job because of the positive rapport we have with our boss. On the other hand, we may leave a job we enjoy, or one that pays well, because of an unpleasant boss.

There’s an axiom that says - Our success isn’t determined by the difficulty of our obstacles, but instead is determined by how you react to them. This is true for every aspect of our lives. We all face problems, some more difficult than others. We read stories in the news about special individuals who overcome hellacious difficulties in order to succeed as human beings: People born into poverty or war-torn regions; people who face a financial crisis or life-threatening situation. Their success isn’t determined by how challenging their problems are, but by their mentality.

Employees Don’t Quit Their Job, They Quit Their Boss – as goes the famous axiom. As various studies have proved globally, a bad boss is the #1 reason why people leave their jobs.

In many cases, despite knowing our boss is problematic, we continue to suffer, as we are unsure of how to deal with the situation. This can be due to:

• Being unsure about the real reasons at play for our boss’ problematic behavior • Knowing the reasons, but being unsure of any possible solutions

One of the best ways to be successful in a professional space is to know how to interact with our boss. Even with a degree or specialized training, our relationships with the people above us will play the most significant role in our career success.

Only by identifying what kind of boss we have, can we effectively manage them. Keep in mind employees manage their bosses just as much as their bosses manage them: You set their expectations and teach them how you want to be treated.

In Bossing the Boss, we have taken a pragmatic and unique approach to managing bosses in ways that will drastically improve your professional and personal life. Your boss shouldn’t be a source of stress in your life. By learning how to manage your boss, you’ll never have to worry about them making your work life miserable again.

General guidelines won’t help because there is no single piece of advice universal to every boss. In Bossing the Boss, we have identified eight individual boss paradigms and how to effectively interact with each of them.

This book will help you to:

• Categorize your boss into one of these eight different paradigms • Identify their traits and attitudes towards the team and work, especially those that cause problems • Come up with proper and effective solutions • Learn how to approach the situation delicately and tactfully • Most importantly, know how to implement those solutions
