FOR
ANYONE STUCK WITH THE ’BOSS FROM HELL," HERE’S A
MUST-HAVE GUIDEBOOK
New
AMACOM book gives readers powerful, proven tactics for
achieving professional success...even while working with
a difficult supervisor.
Most people don’t have the luxury of simply quitting
their job whenever they run into the problem of working
with a mean, unethical, or incompetent boss. Yet most
people, at one time or another throughout their careers,
will face the very difficult challenge of learning how
to get along, and even thrive, under the leadership of
one of these hard-to-work-with supervisors.
A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR WORKING WITH BAD BOSSES: Dealing
with Bullies, Idiots, Back-Stabbers, and Other Managers
from Hell (AMACOM; Paperback) by Gini Graham Scott,
Ph. D. gives readers savvy, practical advice for coping
with the kinds of managers and supervisors who threaten
to turn even the best jobs into nightmares. The book
provides realistic, easy-to-implement strategies for
dealing with classic bad-boss types as:
-
The Great Betrayers—how to
defend against a corporate backstabber
-
The Know-Nothing Bosses—what
to do when a boss is clueless
-
The Bad Communicators—how to
respond when a boss is consistently unclear
Unfortunately, not every boss is
the great symbol of managerial perfection one would hope
for. A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR WORKING WITH BAD BOSSES
is a must-have manual for anyone determined to succeed
in spite of the person they report to.
“I wish I had A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR WORKING WITH BAD
BOSSES ten years ago when I went through three bad
bosses in a row, and thought I was the only one at
fault! As a career and business coach, I will definitely
recommend this book to my clients because it has
no-nonsense, practical tips on what to do. It also helps
new bosses avoid these pitfalls themselves. I love this
book!”—Susan Urquhart-Brown, M. A.; author of The

their HR library!”—Joe Haraburda, President, Chief
