Working for you, isn't working for me.
Many of my friends have been asking recently how to deal with difficult bosses. Previously, during the "celtic tiger" years they may just have got a new job. Now, with employment in a more precarious situation they feel more trapped than before. So I went exploring and found a little gem of a book called "Working for you, isn't working for me".
An easy read it identifies the difficult boss characteristics. It also provides a "boss baggage profile" - i.e. what baggage the reader brings to the table and how this can impact on their work relationship. It then outlines coping mechanisms for dealing with each boss depending on the readers baggage profile.
The first few chapters are very interesting -especially when detailing how people react when a boss relationship begins to deteriorate; replaying the events of the day, trying even harder and becoming nervous etc.
Definitely worth a read on Google Books.
