A practical middle path for a difficult boss — not too passive to help, not too aggressive to actually use.
A difficult boss shapes daily work life more than almost anything else, and most advice on the topic is either too passive to help or too aggressive to actually use. This guide gives a practical middle path.
Inside: identifying what specifically makes the relationship difficult before choosing a response, managing up effectively without it feeling manipulative, protecting yourself professionally when a boss is genuinely unreasonable, and knowing when the relationship is fixable versus when it's time to look elsewhere. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats.
