have and think of the positive underneath that boss. You can
and focus on the positive. look for an opportunity, you
know, within the company
outside of this particular
individual.

superiors, but the fact of the matter is they're offering something to that
company that makes it worth them remaining in this position.

learning what your boss's style is, what are his or her triggers, knowing
what it is that makes them a bad boss and changing your behavior so that
you can work more effectively with them.

1. KNOW THEIR 'WHY': IDENTIFY PRIME
MOTIVATIONS.
What frightens him?
How much importance does he place on impressing others?
How does he measure success and what does he think about failure?
What does he care about?
2. SUPPORT THEIR SUCCESS: WORK AROUND
THEIR WEAKNESSES.
3. TAKE THE HIGH ROAD:YOUR PERSONAL
BRAND IS RIDING ON IT.

RESPOND.
5. KNOW THEIR PREFERENCES: ADAPT TO THEM.
6. DONT BE INTIMIDATED BY A BULLY: STAND
TALL, NEVER COWER!
