With more than 25 years of experience in digital innovation and AI-driven solutions, Eric shares practical strategies for dealing with difficult bosses and enhancing personal effectiveness. Discover how to manage up, grow your manager, and succeed in challenging environments. "I wrote this book after experiencing and observing unhelpful behaviors in the workplace. Many employees feel these behaviors are directed at them personally, but often it's just a matter of leaders using the wrong tools in their toolbox." - Eric Charran Charran identifies the nine boss archetypes as:  The Surprised – The Deer-in-Headlights Boss who is caught off guard by issues, even when previously informed.  The Emergency Broadcaster – The Chicken Little Boss who believes every minor issue is a major crisis and panics frequently.  The Complainer – The Woe-is-Me Boss who constantly complains about problems without seeking solutions.  The Amnesiac – The Forgetful Leader who frequently forgets past discussions, decisions, and promises.  The Firefighter – The Crisis Junkie who thrives on managing crises, often creating emergencies to feel important.  The Order Taker – The Yes-Man (or Woman) who always agrees with superiors and avoids making independent decisions.  The Raw Nerve – The Overly Sensitive Boss who reacts emotionally to feedback and criticism, often taking things personally.  The Attack Sub – The Stealthy Saboteur who engages in undermining behaviors and indirect attacks on colleagues.  The LIFO (Last in, First Out) – The Fickle Manager who frequently changes priorities, often abandoning tasks or projects halfway through.
