Bad Bosses?

www.QualityCoach.Net Survival Guide for Working with Bad Bosses; Book by Gini Graham Scott

Product Description

Review
""Consider this to be the guide of all guides to dealing with bad bosses; it's both an easy book to read, and one that is very thorough....If you are having trouble dealing with your boss, this book will be well worth its price in helping you find solutions."

--Houston Chronicle

Product Description
The sad fact is that the majority of people in the workforce have a less than perfect relationship with their supervisor and many of them consider themselves to be working for “a bad boss.”

But what can they do about it, short of leaving their job?

A Survival Guide for Working with Bad Bosses gives readers all the guidance they so desperately need not just to survive, but thrive while reporting to someone incompetent, mean, unethical, or even worse.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inside Secrets on Controlling (or Conquering) Your Bad Boss, 22 Mar 2006

By	Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

No blueprint exists for dealing with a difficult boss, but sometimes a tried-and-true approach can alleviate the problem. Author Gini Graham Scott provides scenarios that illustrate 34 categories of bad bosses. Useful as these may be, they do not make for a smooth narrative. Scott describes each classification and provides a case study and list of possible solutions - though you might find it scary to read about so many incompetent people. Your own bad boss may be enough. Even if you are highly motivated to diagnose your boss’s particular pathology, you will need to take some time to determine exactly where your personal nemesis resides in Scott’s rogue’s gallery of mismanagement. Then, she’ll help you devise a strategy. We found the book more descriptive than prescriptive or analytical, but it affirms that you are not alone in your struggle, and it offers guidelines that may help you decide what to do. Here’s hoping that the job market remains strong so - if need be - you can escape intact, with this guidebook in your hand.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Survival Guide for Working with Bad Bosses, 8 Oct 2007

By	Tami Brady "Whole Health Therapist" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

f you've ever had a job, you've likely come across a bad boss. Bad bosses come in all types from the no-boss and the party planner through the scatterboss and the promises, promises boss to the overloader and the control freak. A Survival Guide for Working with Bad Bosses describes mangers from hell complete with stories of real life versions of these monsters. Each section also includes a What Should the Employee Do section which outlines a number of possible solutions to the problem. A summary called Today's Take-Aways end each section.

A Survival Guide for Working with Bad Bosses is an excellent resource for employees stuck in a difficult situation. Not only does the book remind the reader that he or she is not the only one to have such circumstances but also gives them options which are often difficult to think of when stuck in the middle of a problem. Bosses may also want to read this book as often bad bosses don't even realize their problematic behaviour.
