Figuring Out The Female Boss

Acknowledge what you might be bringing to the table and why your boss' behaviour bothers you so much.Because even if you have found solace in group gossip about your manager, chances are there are some reasons why you are so personally frustrated by this person.Why on earth would we suggest finding an empathic spot for this person when it's quite literally the last thing you want to do?Because if you must find a way to get along, you'll need to take the long view and try to understand why she acts in this particular way.In trying to understand the boss' underlying anxiety, an employee can interact in ways that help keep the supervisor's fear at bay: * Find little ways to show the boss she's in control if she needs to be. * If the boss has fragile self-esteem, show her value by acknowledging her positives when opportunities arise. * If a disorganized boss can't finish anything and slows everyone else down, learn to interact with her in bite-sized tasks and complete them one at a time.
