Abstract

Understanding how to manage the boss requires an awareness of the different types of bosses, their personality and their management styles. Describes six different types of manager: the bureaucrat, the autocrat, the wheeler‐dealer, the laissez‐faire manager, the reluctant manager, and the open manager. Suggestions are given, using behaviour modification as a framework, as to how each of these can best be influenced by a subordinate.
