Obviously, it is difficult to handle difficult boss. However, if there is a will, there will be a way. If you want, there will be a way to handle difficult boss. You just need to know the exact way to do it.

Basically, to handle difficult boss, you just need to know what your boss expect from you.

One way of achieving it is by setting a clear objective for the expectation and then makes a clear and specific measure and target towards the expectation.

In making a clear and specific measure, you are indeed searching for an indicator which will help you to assess whether your boss's expectation is met or not. This is vital because normally the boss will instruct you to complete particular job without further details.

In setting the clear and specific target, you are indeed setting your mind and body to work towards the target, thus you will show your full commitment to achieve it. If you think the target is too stretched, then you may need to talk and negotiate with your boss about it. You may know what your boss would expect from you, right?
