Surrounded by Bad Bosses (Authentic Verified) by Robert Sutton

"Everyone has encountered a difficult superior at some point?perhaps you are currently under the charge of one, or even, regrettably, you may have been one yourself. Bad bosses come in many forms: those who are short-tempered, unclear in their expectations, or so disorganized they can scarcely manage the simplest tasks. But how does one not merely endure such a boss, but instead thrive in spite of them?

By discerning the behavior profile of your superior, you can better navigate interactions, regardless of the circumstances. Thomas Erikson provides a wealth of practical examples and actionable steps, equipping you to flourish within any professional environment, no matter how challenging.

However, as much as we may be tempted to place blame on our managers, sometimes the fault lies elsewhere. For every ineffective boss, there exists the lazy or underperforming employee. Thus, Erikson broadens his focus to examine this issue from an alternative viewpoint?underachieving colleagues. For those in leadership positions, he explores the reasons behind such disengagement and offers solutions to address and rectify these issues.

With his characteristic humor and insightful warmth, Surrounded by Bad Bosses (And Lazy Employees) not only provides strategies for coping with the most trying managers and coworkers, but also keeps you thoroughly entertained as you learn how to turn even the most hopeless work situations to your advantage.
