Manage episode 451088762 series 3593224
Abstract: This article provides research-backed strategies for addressing the challenges of working under a passive-aggressive boss. Passive-aggressive behavior, marked by indirect expression of negative feelings, can undermine team dynamics, create unclear expectations, stall progress, and breed a toxic work culture. The article recommends proactive approaches grounded in leadership research, including setting clear expectations, directly confronting indirect behaviors, documenting patterns over time, adapting one's own leadership style, and seeking mediation when necessary. By understanding passive-aggression and taking constructive steps, employees can work to establish a more transparent, healthier work environment despite the difficulties posed by an indirectly confrontational supervisor.
