Amanda Rose Instagram – Things to keep in mind when dealing with a difficult boss:
🔥 Don’t get emotional or fight fire with fire – this just adds fuel to the problem and you risk damaging your reputation, even if you’re “in the right”. Do your best to remove the emotion from the situation.
⬆ Manage up – be the professional in the room and step up, offer to take on some extra responsibilities or provide some alternate ideas.
🤷♀️ Don’t be discouraged if your boss takes the credit – no matter the outcome at your current place of work, you can use your achievements as case studies for your next job application.
☀ Focus on the positive – what does your boss do well? Yes they may be difficult in some ways, but if you fixate on the negative you are guaranteed to be miserable.
💪 Learn to work WITH people rather than against them – this is a powerful leadership quality, and learning to work with a variety of personalities (especially difficult ones) will set you up for success.
