Coping with Difficult Bosses
Bramson, author of Coping with Difficult People ( LJ 5/1/87) and The Fast Track Blues ( LJ 6/15/90), focuses on recognizing, understanding, and dealing with different types of difficult bosses. In short vignettes, he describes an array of management behaviors: bosses who are artful dodgers, bosses who demean, bosses who are always right, and bosses who cling to power. For each boss behavior pattern, Bramson provides strategies for subordinates to handle the situation from a position of analysis and preparation. Each vignette has accompanying step-by-step techniques to use. Recommended for general business collections. See also Stanley Bing's Crazy Bosses , LJ 1/92.--Ed.- Jane M.
