How to Deal with a Difficult Boss | Workplace Communication Tips

Not sure how to deal with a difficult boss? Whether your manager is disorganised, overly demanding, micromanaging, or simply poor at communication, this video gives you the tools to manage up effectively and protect your mental health at work. In this video, you'll learn practical techniques to deal with a difficult manager—from improving communication to setting boundaries and even giving your boss feedback. Many workplace conflicts come down to one issue: poor communication. When you learn to see things from your boss’s perspective and adjust your approach, you gain more control over your work environment. We explore how to understand what pressures your boss might be under—from upper management, clients, or internal deadlines. You’ll learn how to analyse your manager’s behavior, identify their communication style, and align your work accordingly. One of the most powerful strategies? Treat your boss like a client. Understand their priorities, how they like to receive updates, and what success looks like to them. We also dive into the importance of scheduling regular one-on-ones. These meetings help you raise concerns, share wins, and stay aligned on goals. You’ll learn how to prepare for these conversations, present your progress, and suggest solutions to workplace challenges. Being proactive makes you stand out—and helps improve even strained relationships. A major part of handling a difficult boss is giving constructive feedback. You’ll discover a proven 3-step method: give a clear example, explain the impact, and propose a preferred future action. When done calmly and confidently, this approach builds trust and often leads to lasting change. But not every boss is just “difficult.” Some are toxic—using inappropriate language, showing consistent disrespect, or behaving in ways that violate company values. In these cases, we walk you through how to document behaviors, understand your company’s grievance policy, and speak to HR or a trusted leader. You deserve a safe and respectful workplace. Finally, we help you evaluate whether to stay or leave your role. If you're still learning, growing, and love your work, a tough boss might be manageable. But if the job is draining and you’re not developing professionally, it may be time to consider new opportunities.
