I just posted a whopper – about 5,000 words, all on identifying bad boss behavior and developing an action-plan to deal with him or her. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.

If you have this particular situation in your life, I am sympathetic. I have had to deal with this personally, several times over the course of my career.

While there are tyrants and tin pot dictators out there in the workplace, keep in mind that there is a little saint in every sinner and a little sinner in every saint. Sometimes the bad boss doesn’t know that they are pushing your buttons and creating terrible morale. Other times you may have a mostly decent boss, but they engage in just one or two of these non-prosperish behaviors.

Check out the article for tips on how to deal with this troublesome obstacle to prosperity and show your friend.
