This work offers practical and sympathetic advice on how to recognize, understand and take action to combat the behaviour of difficult bosses and to overcome the stress, frustration and misery which they cause. Bramson's key is coping. He tells you exactly what you need to do when dealing with managers who buttress their own strength and power by demonstrating how weak or out of control you are. Robert Bramson is a management consultant and behavioural scientist whose clients include IBM, Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard. A regular broadcaster and contributor to newspapers, his previous books have included "Coping With Difficult People".

Bramson, author of Coping with Difficult People ( LJ 5/1/87) and The Fast Track Blues ( LJ 6/15/90), focuses on recognizing, understanding, and dealing with different types of difficult bosses. In short vignettes, he describes an array of management behaviors: bosses who are artful dodgers, bosses who demean, bosses who are always right, and bosses who cling to power. For each boss behavior pattern, Bramson provides strategies for subordinates to handle the situation from a position of analysis and preparation. Each vignette has accompanying step-by-step techniques to use. Recommended for general business collections. See also Stanley Bing's Crazy Bosses , LJ 1/92.--Ed.
