5 TIPS ON HOW TO HANDLE AN AGGRESSIVE BOSS

Having an aggressive boss is one of the greatest pain that many employee can suffer especially if their job is an high paying one. There are some employees who says they only have joy fill their heart when one of the following situations happens:

-        

            When it is weekend

-          When their aggressive boss travels or on vacation.

-          When they are on holiday

-          When they are on LEAVE from work.

Aside the situations that I have highlighted above, employees have already developed a phobia on how to relate with their boss without any counter reactions.

But in this article I will give you tips which I used in handling one of my former boss that has temperament issues and he ended up being my best boss ever.

Here are the tips:

-        

              RESEARCH: You will have to do a thorough research on your boss to know all his/her attitudes and identify all his/her dos and don’ts. Having a clear understanding of your boss behavioral attitudes will give you an easy guide on how to relate with him/her.

       

-         

           IDENTIFY HIS/HER AGGRESSION TRIGGERING BUTTONS:    Aggression can be triggered when some certain attitudes are in play from the employees, meaning that there are some certain attitudes that are very irritating to the boss and might make him/her unleash his/her aggression on the employees. Examples of such attitudes are: laziness, dirtiness, gossiping, sluggishness and many more. Therefore the earlier you can identify these buttons and totally avoid them, the faster you become an expert in handling your aggressive boss.

-       

        BOLDNESS, SINCERITY AND HONESTY:  You have to develop yourself to be able to meet up with your boss’s expectations by being bold to handle all his/her instructions. And this can be done by having a sincere heart to carry out all the instructions with honesty at the shortest period of time.

-        

         ADMIRE HIM/HER:   Attitude of being bold enough to pass positive , encouraging and motivating comments to your boss will in no time make you become his/her best friend.

Positive comments like; ‘you are the best boss I have ever worked for’, ‘you look very wonderful today sir/ma’, ;I like your tie sir’, I count it a rare privilege to work with you sir/ma’ etc.

-           

   BECOME MORE EXCITED AND ENERGETIC AFTER YOU ARE BEING CORRECTED SORELY OR SCOLDED BY YOUR BOSS:   This is a situation where most employees get it wrong, because they immediately become sober and very moody when their boss has shown his/her aggression on them. The employees always think that when they put themselves in that moody and sober state that their boss might pity them to stop his/her aggression or apologies to them. But on the contrary withdrawing into a moody and sober state will only bring more heavier aggression from the boss, because they automatically think the employees have tagged them to be very wicked and callous person and these imagination will make them become more cruel to their employees.

But rather than becoming sober and moody, try to become more and more excited about the corrections or scolding and even say the word ‘thank you sir/ma’ when you are leaving the boss presence and jump back to your work with more energy and passion, this way you will make your boss feels that he/she is on the right track correcting you and he/she will soon get tired of putting aggression on you, thereby making him/her move on to another employee who does not know these  tips and descend on them.
