Nasty Bosses

The bestselling expert on nasty behavior sets hissights on bad bosses

In the straightforward and popular style of Dr. Carter's previous three books (Nasty People, Nasty Men, and Nasty Women), Nasty Bosses provides no-nonsense insights into bad-tempered behavior, offering proven techniques for handling every harmful moment inflicted by snide superiors. Combining humor with the know-how of a trained psychologist, Dr. Carter offers strategies for:

• Navigating around the "The Carrot Dangler"—the boss who motivates with the promise of a promotion but never delivers
• Discerning the deceptive "Two Face"—the supervisor who tells everyone a different story to try to please them all
• Coping with "The Crusader"—the chief who demands fanatical hard work and dedication from employees but "guilts" them, "misers" them, and demeans them
• Dealing with "The Chucky Boss"—when this boss is through using you, you get

  chucked in the "wasted" bin

• Contending with "The Noper"—the leader who rejects your ideas only to later implement them as his own
