OK, first let me seperate good bosses from bad bosses.\n\nBad bosses think they know everything and aren't afraid to tell everyone so.\n\nGood bosses know most things and have experience behind them to back them up.  The key word is most things.  I know that I don't have all of the answers and admit this to my staff.  I rely on them to correct me if I am wrong.  I don't get upset if a staffer tells me I am wrong, I don't feel stupid or worry about feelings if I am told I am wrong.  I want to know the right answer, not the one I think is right.\n\nNow, as far as doing better or doing more, a good boss will explain the reasons behind why they feel this way.  For example, is the oppoorunity for improvement a competency or a metric?\n\nA competency is subjective, such as "Communicates Well With Customers" or "Is Customer-Service Oriented".  A metric is something you can be measured against, such as "Processed x number of orders in a 3-month period" or "Quality/Accuracy is 99.5%" or "Production and Accuracy is above peer norm".\n\nIf the opporunity for improvement is a metric, there are hard numbers that can used to demonstrate, or create a picture, of where you need to be versus where you are today.  You could, for example, process 10 more orders in one month to bring your production up to what is expected.\n\nIf the opportunity for improvement is a competency, the boss should be providing you with behavioral examples of what is expected versus what is acceptable.  Examples such as this would be something like "In the xyz meeting, you didn't speak up about abc.  If you would have spoken up or brought it to our attention, we may not have made this mistake".\n\nI hope that helps, and please feel free to send me an e-mail to dive deeper into what your specific situation is.

1. ALWAYS REMBER TO HAVE FUN (Yes, you can be the boss and have fun. Burnt out people lose there grip on things) \n\n2. Don't let you position go to your head. (No one want a bossy that think that they a God)\n\n3. don't ask your staff to do something that you won't do yourself.( once they see you do it  once they will gladly do it)\n\n\n4.Be firm and never waver from it.( Yes, be understanding and compassionate but firm if your staff see weakness they will take advantage of it)\n\n5. If you have question always ask. ( It is better to be safe than sorry.

Schedule a meeting with your boss's boss. In the meeting, tell him/her in a polite and respectful way exactly what your boss has done. You need to show them specific examples and have evidence to make your point. \n\nJust remember that it's up to your bosses boss to decide what action to take. Do not make threats or demands that your boss be fired. Your best option would be to ask for a transfer to another department or tell them politely that you may have to find another job if this situation continues.

As an excutive secretary it's been my experience that my most successful and least stressed bosses have had the ability to delegate duties while not hesitating to "get their hands dirty" when the situation calls for action. They have also been able to be decisive and turn that into the right decision when it might appear otherwise at the onset. In other words, decide on a course of action, and make it work for you. \n\nThe worst bosses I have ever had attempted to take on too much of the actual work themselves, micro-managing instead of trusting their staff. They were also wishy-washy decision makers who were too ready to jump from idea to idea instead of taking their time to make things work out and follow through with their original idea.

Just let her rant and rave. I'm sure you're doing an excellent job, so keep it up. Show your boss through your deeds that you are a valuable employee, and you have nothing to worry about. If your boss wants to confide in you, they will. Until then, do your job to the best of your ability and let that womans voice just drift off into the background. Every work place has them....unfortunately.

I have always lived by a simple rule at work. Treat others the way that you would like to be treatred yourself.  This serves me whether I am managing a team of employees, or getting along with others that work in my area.\n\nBe respectful, polite and courteous. Remember that people are trying to get things done and need an environment in which to accomplish this. Also, we spend a tremendous amount of time with the people that work with us. It often makes the day go a lot better when you find some common grounds and talk with your co-workers on breaks etc.

Yes. It usually happens when your boss is an idiot. At the end you'll win.

You shouldn't ever guage how you determine the course of your life or career based on what you think someone else will think of you. You should take a position that will fulfill you more in your career and within yourself.\n\nIf your boss is a good person, and you're open, honest and straightforward in your pursuit of a different position, then your boss will encourage you to better yourself. If (s)he doesn't, then (s)he isn't really a good person to work for.

Always do the right thing.  You can only answer for yourself and your actions.

Is it ever "right?"  Unfortunately, there are so many conflicts over what is "right."  It's often folks on the "right" who feel they have the "right."  They often maintain that they're on the side of "right," or on the "right" side.  But, that doesn't mean that the "right" folks are in charge, like when the folks on the "right" take charge.  But, without "right," what's "left?"  Then what's "left" can be "right" and what's "right" can be wrong. \n\nAh, I've been in the right place, but I must have made a wrong turn...

OK , the answer would depend on who you are more than who the boss is. It's like saying -  how do I deal with all the people in my life?\nAll of those who enjoy life, relationships with others have first made  \na discovery of themselves - really getting to know themselves(not too many ever do). Then, If you know at heart  that you are an OK person, worthy of love and respect- then you will know that is true of everyone else AND the boss. I wish you well.

A poplular term used when discussing dimwit bosses is "manage your boss."  If you see her beginning to point in a direction you know to be incorrect, try playing the part of Devil's Advocate and pointing out some of the pitfalls in her way of thinking.  Another tactic is to think out loud, walking through the consequences of her decision step by step.  As long as you do this in a way that initially sounds like you are agreeing with her, you'll be fine.\n\nThe saving grace in your case is that "numerous people in the company seek advice from [you] and not her."  This indicates that they also know that your boss is clueless.  However, do not EVER tell anyone else that you actually think your boss is clueless!  Always cover your butt when taking about your boss.  Perhaps she's not been there as long as you, or she has a lot on her plate, or she's just not involved in the issues as much as your are.  Whatever the case may be, let everyone else pump up your reputation.  If your boss begins getting in hot water from her superiors, stay out of it as much as possible and just make sure your supporting co-workers are close at hand to support you as a replacement should that happy opportunity present itself.\n\nOh, and when things just get too frustrating, buy a stress ball.
