Knowing your boss and knowing his or her certain traits is very important to deal with him tactfully.
Here are a few types of bosses you meet and the tips to deal with them.
Laid-back
Laid-back bosses are known to be most comfortable to work with. While they do keep an eye on the work being done by the team, they usually stay aloof and only interfere when it is incumbent. Usually, this boss species understands that the quality of work matters and not the process. In a nutshell, laid back bosses are realistic, practical and believe in getting the task at hand completed without interfering in their team’s creativity.
Work Tip: Though your boss doesn’t interfere, always keep him in the loop and seek suggestions to avoid issues in the future.
Untrustworthy
A boss who hovers over every step taken by his team mates, an untrustworthy boss is probably the most difficult to deal with. Not only are such bosses hyper, but they also tend to constantly pick on unreasonable issues, disguising them as mistakes and trying to correct them. Consequently, the erosion rate of such bosses is high.
Work Tip: Before beginning an assignment, seek their guidance and constantly update them about the progress to avoid team clashes and criticism.
Micro Manager
The trait of a typical micromanager is someone who wants to be a part of each task that his her team undertakes. Right from why a team mate is late to work, to wanting to know the details of even the smallest work undertaken. Working with a micromanager, though intimidating at most times, can sometimes be positive.
Work Tip: If you are aware that your boss wants to be a part of everything, make sure he she is well informed about the work you do, your weekly work plan as well as your achievements on a regular basis. This will help avoid conflict.
