Whether it’s a boss with anger management issues who flies off the handle over bad grammar or a lazy boss who expects you to pick up all the slack; there are a number of tactics that could help you successfully navigate their difficult behaviour and come out on top.

The bully boss

Remember there is a fine line between a tough management style and what you might label bullying.

Understanding what drives them may give you some insight into how they lead.

If your boss is liable to shout at you over punctuality or email typos, make a concerted effort to avoid those mistakes.

Bullying in the workplace takes many forms so make sure you are certain before you take action.
