Well she is the boss.  Try hard to get the next dead-line then if you have to have a talk with her to let her know that she is being unreasonable have the talk.  Be calm and civil.  Good luck.

If you want to be the "boss" make sure you know what you're asking. First, makes sure you've researched everything there is to know about what you're topics are in the meeting. Second, if the big boss is asking who has an idea or suggestions, make sure you try in a "cool" way to introduce your idea and sound convincing enough that would make you different among everyone. Last, make sure that you can do the ideas you suggest so that when youre asked to take charge of the project you can deliver your ideas and kick butt!

yes, they need to know who's the boss. but not abusively. They need a smack in the azz now and then.

Since he's your "new" boss, I'd say take the high road and try to grin and bear it.\n\nGood luck!

Some bosses you can never please. I had one that I could have stood on my head while I worked and it was never good enough.\n\nSometime I think when they don't like you perhaps you remind them of a teacher or aunt that hurt their feelings when they were a kid. Or you just may intimidate them by your knowledge and they think you are out to get their job.\n\nNote to Bosses....please be kind to your help because they are what gives your business success, and treating them like garbage is only going to promote high turn over.\n\nAs Bozo the Clown once said.."It's nice to be important but important to be nice." Be nice to your subordinates and they will be nice and work hard for you.

Well you will always remain in the situation you are in.....struggling to get by....you know why?  Because you spend way too much energy on conjuring up a lie rather than focusing on the truth.  His boss probably isn't a jerk.  People have businesses to run....they need dependable people....not liars!  Grow up, accept responsibility for your irrisponsible behavior.....People do on occassion oversleep....Bosses understand and accept this from honest, loyal and hard workers.  I'm a boss, and have  had some real great workers share this with me and guess what?  I have much more respect for them because they were HONEST with me.  This way, I know they have integrity!

I, too, am second in charge at my job.  The best way I've found to deal with timid bosses is to first talk to them about the problem.  You are there to help them, so help.  Approach your boss in a non-threatening way, one-on-one, and discuss your concerns.  You could say "I've noticed other employees not adhering to the company policies. I know we don't want to send the message that this is acceptable. What do you think we could do to discourage this?"  If your boss tries to skirt the issue or tries to blow you off, be firm.  You could also say "I know coaching and corrective action isn't one of the fun aspects of your job, and I'd be happy to help you with this (if you truly are).  Let's get a game plan together so we can be sure we are on the same page with this"  This way your boss should get the hint that something needs to be done, and you are willing to help, yet you don't have to go over her head or make her feel like she can't do her job correctly.  Good Luck!

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.

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.

Make use of your boss as a resource to learn how to do your job.  Carry a notepad with you and after you ask them a question, WRITE IT DOWN.  This way you'll be able to refer to it and not annoy them by having to ask them again.\n\nAlso, try to figure out (either by asking or talking to co-workers) what you boss's major priorities and biggest problems are.  Then make sure you adopt a strategy that makes you useful to your boss in tackling those priorities.

Good managers create a team of which they are more a member than a leader, if your subordinates are made to feel like participants in the team rather than just workers under a boss they will desire to work harder and help more.\nI suggest a few things:\n1) Ask rather than demand help.\n2) Explain the assisgnment of the team and ask advice on how to get them done best -Even if you head up a cleaning crew, I bet your team can come up with ways to get the job done faster, better, cheaper...etc\n3) Be the hardest worker on the team - people respect a boss who actually works.\n4) Listen to your people, even if you cannot take their suggestions, listen and then explain why.\n5) Be fair, work hard to be impartial... have no favorites.\n6) Give alot of feedback, look for every opportunity to give praise.\n7) Be willing to "fire" a bad apple, the rest of the team will appreciate it.\n8) Gain trust by being trustworthy.. be a person who keeps your word, is always honest, and never gossips.\n9) Small rewards - A can of coke or box of donuts for everyone one day out of your own pocket will pay big dividends.\n10) Middle management is the hardest, explain your bosses expectation to your workers, so they can work with you rather than against you.\n11) Remember they are just people too - having good and bad days just trying to make a living. Treat them as such.\n\nBest of everything with your co-workers.

The suggestions above will work well with most managers, but there are some who have more specific ways of working that make day-to-day interaction challenging. Here are some typical "difficult boss"personalities and remedies for dealing with them.\n\nBoss type: The Micro-Manager (controlling, overly involved)\nRemedy: Your boss needs to develop more confidence in you. Begin by asking for complete responsibility on smaller tasks and then work your way up to bigger tasks. Be sure to deliver consistently excellent work or you may lose that trust quickly.\n\n\nBoss type: The Non-Manager (indecisive, hesitant, vague)\nRemedy: Instead of asking open-ended questions, give him a few choices and one clear recommendation. Counteract vagueness by asking for clarification. Avoid procrastination on your boss's part by communicating your deadlines and following up on what you need.\n\n\nBoss type: The Unreasonable Manager (crushes you with work)\nRemedy: Schedule a meeting to discuss priorities and options for what you can and cannot handle. Suggest bringing in a contractor to help during peak periods.

Always think positive. Keep it in your mind "Every problem has its solution". Always advise your subordinates not to bring problems/issue without its possible solution. Another advise don't be a manager, don't be a leader only try to be a coach! guide and mentoring colleagues.

Unfortunately, most bosses are like this....but I have learnt to face up to my boss (your boss) or anyone who is "in a way putting you down", and it works....I will turn the tables on them and ask them simply "what it is that they don't agree with" or what would they do differently, I will never allow anyone to just "put me down" without at least getting some kind of response back from them, I want to know the reason why.......especially and you must be honest, if your intentions were well meaning....and after a few times doing this to your boss, your friend, your family member, someone in a store/restaurant, believe me, you will leave them with an IMPRESSION of who you are and that will be, that you will want to get to the core of the matter........Good-Luck
