Good morning ladies. How are you doing? How is the weekend going? I trust that the day is going well.
Today's career discussion topic is
- Dealing with a difficult boss/customer

I have had the pleasure of working with fantastic as well as difficult bosses. I've had more fantastic bosses than difficult bosses, so dealing with a difficult boss was a rude shock for me. Dealing with difficult customers is a more familiar turf for me, though I've come across people recently who appear to be more difficult than those I've dealt with in the past.

One way of dealing with a difficult boss is to ask him/her to be your mentor. It'll probably force them to have more discussions and become more open-minded about you.

I'm sure many of us have tips and experiences that are relevant to this discussion. Please share your views and experiences on this.
