Are you dealing with a absentee boss, a tantrum thrower, or a control freak? Good news, there are two brand new books out that can help you manage up more effectively!
- Working for You Isn’t Working for Me, The Ultimate Guide to Managing Your Boss by Katherine Crowley and Kathi Elster
- Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant by Lynn Taylor
Read about both books and get some quick tips from Wallace Immen’s career column in TheGlobeandMail.com.
Two oldies but goodies on the topic are the Managing Conflict with Your Boss from the Center for Creative Leadership and my all-time favorite, Dealing with People You Can’t Stand by Dr. Rick Brinkman and Dr. Rick Kirschner.
You might also want to check out my February post on Dealing with Big Egos in the Office.

When it comes to Bad Bosses, I’ve looked the other way far to long. It’s time for us to fight back. The War on Bad Bosses is a grass roots campaign that will turn businesses, as we know them, upside down and make them the the kind of workplaces that everyone looks forward to going to every day.

Harry,
I read about your Bad Boss tags and think they are a great idea. Too many of us have no idea if we are a good boss or a bad one. I hope this will help bosses take notice of behaviors that are negatively impacting others.
Good luck!
