“…a great start to halting micromanagement in its tracks is to anticipate the tasks that your manager expects and get them done well ahead of time. It will only put you further behind in your workload and build a case for your boss to give you the old heave-ho before you’re ready to go.”Įspecially when you're dealing with a micromanager, head off your boss' requests by anticipating them and getting things done before they come to you. “Don’t try to even the score by working slower, or taking excessive ‘mental health’ days or longer lunches.
No matter how bad your boss' behavior, avoid letting it affect your work. You want to stay on good terms with other leaders in the company (and keep your job!). Maybe it’s not that he really cares about how long your lunch break takes he actually cares about how it looks to other employees and their superiors.” “.if the rules are totally out of control, try to figure out your boss’ motivation. Understanding why your boss does or cares about certain things can give you insight into his or her management style. Is it truly her fault, or could it be something out of her control?” When she is doing something “bad,” try to imagine the most forgiving reason why it could have occurred. “Observe your boss for a few days and try to notice how many things she does well versus poorly. Is there a reason for her behavior, or are you being too hard on him or her? Make Sure You’re Dealing With a “Bad Boss”īefore trying to fix your bad boss, make sure you really are dealing with one.
