Great bosses encourage learning and growth and they can listen and respect their team members.
As a result they can adapt to situations because they listened to the feedback from their teams and amended their management style for the situation.
One of the lessons I learned in 2010 when I suffered mental exhaustion was that a burnt out manager does nothing for their direct reports and the chances are they are following down the same path.
If your boss is classified as a bully the chances are he or she is aggressive, driven and competitive and they micromanage and continually tell you they are in charge which usually adds to your stress in delivering on their continued urgent demands.
People will advise you if your boss is a bully you should keep them in the loop all the time, probably not hard as you’re micromanaged, but look out if you have to advise of a “surprise “, they don't like surprises. Some people will advise you to do the jobs your bully boss can not do as they like that.
If you work for a bully boss limit the time you are in their team, work on staying calm when you interact with them and suggest solutions to problems and stand up to them if they do not value you and your contribution.
You matter, understand your values and your purpose and do not let anyone bully you in the workplace.
Bullying at and time in any situation is wrong.
You can find a job where the manager is patient in stressful situations and treat all team members equally and value your contribution.
