Just How Bad IS That Person You Work For?
Part 2
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

And the reaction? If the person is workable with, they show some introspection, remorse, and desire to make things better. They agree they weren't at their best. They engage in a conversation about it and take a look at what's going on.

If, on the other hand, they fly into a further rage, what you've done is further enrage a true narcissistic manager, and there's your clue.

Such statements as, "I know you were under stress," or "I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances and want to make this department shine. How can I.?" or "It doesn't help me do my best work when I'm called 'an idiot,'" are phrases which will engender rage in a narcissist, and some semblance of connection from a nice-guy-gone-bad-for-the-moment.

Narcissists have weak self-esteem and also may be control freaks. Those statements bring up feelings in them they can't deal with, so they rage. To them almost anything you say implies that they, themselves, are at fault (weak, incompetent, out-of-control), which they quickly will turn into being something YOUR fault, and then the mindless rage, because it makes them feel better.

And here's the real test of Emotional Intelligence. Empathy and communication skills (interpersonal relationship skills) are competencies, but there are others, such as Personal Power, Intuition, and Reality-testing.

In this case, how do we apply them? Personal Power means recognizing that you are not helpless and hopeless.

You may be helpless and hopeless in the face of trying to change the narcissist, but you are not hopeless and helpless in facing up to the reality and taking care of yourself by asking for a transfer, covering yourself while you must remain there, not taking any of this personally, taking care not to reveal any 'weaknesses' which can (and will) be used against you, documenting what needs documenting, and taking action on your own behalf, as in getting your resume ready.

Intuition? Your instincts in such an interchange should be shouting at you -- THIS IS NOT GOOD. How your intuition talks to you is a personal thing. You may get a sinking feeling where you just "know" the person can't be approached at a human level and means ill.

The hair could stand up on the back of your neck. Your palms could sweat. You could get a chill or weak knees -- fear, in any of its manifestations. There's nothing wimpy about this. A person who truly means ill to others, and in fact delights in serving it out, should raise such a reaction in you, and it should be heeded. That's what our gut instincts are for: to keep us safe.
