The Boss from Hell. A Manipulative Superior, a Problematic Manager, a Director You're Tired Of… and How to Set Boundaries Between You

A practical guide on how to protect yourself and grow in conditions of toxic leadership. The book examines dozens of real types of “nightmare bosses” and shows how their management methods erode motivation, health, and the team’s climate. You’ll learn how manipulation works—both from the leaders’ side and from the employees’ side—how to notice it by characteristic signs, and how to build defense strategies: from calm insistence on your boundaries to well-thought-out counter-moves.

This book is for those who face arrogance, constant nitpicking, attempts to set colleagues against each other, and a sense of helplessness under pressure. Case studies from practice, step-by-step schemes, tests, and recommendations will help you regain control of the situation, resolve conflicts constructively, and protect your nerves in a tense work environment.

Who it’s for:
- employees working under toxic managers;
- line managers and middle managers;
- top managers and business owners;
- HR specialists and business trainers;
- students of management and psychology fields.
