Business Communications

Introduction

The fictional management case study “surviving the boss from the hell” explores the dilemma that many employees are facing to deal with difficult and irrational boss in the workplace. The case shows that employee named David is having hard time dealing his boss which creates unhealthy relationship between them (Silverman, 2009). The case is commented by three management experts, among which I would support the arguments presented by Gini Graham Scott. Scott strategies and understanding for communications at workplace are the most sensible because she first correctly argues that David should not leave his job on account of working under hard boss, next expertly states that David has displayed his own weakness of worrying on small things and harsh behavior of his boss which seriously cause stress to him, and then finally, astutely recommends that David should adopt positive frame of mind in his communications with his boss and plan ahead which surely is an effort to pleasant working environment with boss from the hell (Scott, 2007). Scott claims the fact that every situation in the workplace can be handled with positive attitude and there is chance that relationship between David and his Boss would improve by improving certain factors (Scott, 2000). Her suggestions are reflection of her experience which she gained from teaching communication and motivation lessons and also being the author of more than 40 books on how to deal with good boss, how to become the good boss and acknowledging that you are not a good boss (GinniScott.com, 2012).
