Today, we speak with top life coachCarole Ann Ricewho is sharing with us her 4 tips on how to deal with a horrible boss.1. Gather evidenceKeep a note of anything they do to make you feel uncomfortable, which you can later look back on. This will allow you to re-evaluate the situation with a clear head rather than just going with thoughts that arrive in the spur of the moment. It may be that you simply have a personality clash rather than a true negative situation.2. Pinpoin t the problemTry to think about what they are doing that makes you feel they are a bad boss. Are they not listening to you? Do they steal you ideas? Maybe they dont follow through on promises? When youve figured that out, think about how you can fix it yourself. If they are stealing your ideas for example, it might be a case of you initially sharing those ideas in public, so everyone can be clear that they came from you.3. Gather allies and advocatesMaking friends wherever you can in the office. Its important to network with people on all levels - the girls at reception or the student who helps out in the post room, but also vertically with managers who out-rank your boss. This means that you have a good support group and advocates on your side who will champion you if you ever get into a sticky situation.4. Have a private chatIt takes a lot of courage to do so, but if you feel brave enough a one to one chat with the person is a great way to solve the issue at last. Go over all the notes youve written before you go in and let them know about the times where you have felt threatened or you feel they have been a bad manager. This is a preemptive strike and will allow you to take control of the situation yourself.This article was originally published on YourCoffeeBreak.co.uk.
