First and foremost, disrespectful behavior should never be tolerated. Let alone in the worklace. It gives rise to serious consequences; such as unpleasant environment, decreased productivity and so on. At first brush, I’d say talk over your concerns with your boss in a nonthreatening and professional manner. Now I realize this is a difficult thing to do when you are going through this in real time. So often times, I tell my clients to take a step back and first use some mindfulness techniques. I then go through some simple things they can do to get grounded. Then, I tell them don’t react, focus on what they can control, don’t take things personally and focus on what they can control. Now, I say this knowing that people don’t change over night. You may have to be consistent in your message that such behavior is never acceptable. You may have to use a little psychology. So, the conversation might go something like “Boss, when you do that, it only makes me feel like you don’t value my work”. There are times when you must convey a stronger statement/message such as “I value all of your input, but that kind of behavior is unacceptable.” But you must then anticipate the bad boss’s comeback and have your response or action plan in place. For example, if the boss begins to rant and rave, you can leave and say, “I’ll come back when you are more receptive to my feedback. Remember, when you’re having a conversation with someone and they’re speaking, it’s important to listen to them. Really listen to them. Because there’s a difference between hearing someone and listening. make direct eye contact, turn your body towards them and truly engage in the conversation.
