Abstract

Suggests why anticipating your boss’s reactions is important: it helps you to perform better, keeps you out of trouble and makes your job more pleasant. Proposes a four‐step process for understanding your boss (select a framework, understand and determine behaviour styles, and decide how to work with the boss’s style) and discusses each step in detail.
