he looks upon their relations as a cold war, for he senses harshness from the employer's side and grows angry at every criticism he hears, and so argues to the very end. While the submissive one feels his boss can do no wrong, this one believes exactly the opposite.
3 — The withdrawn: He does not look at his feelings but leaves them sleeping; he works under inward pressure and works faithfully, avoiding any situation that would stir up a quarrel with his boss, since he cannot face such a thing. If he hears any criticism he folds in upon himself and prefers submission to argument, keeping his opinions and his feelings to himself.
4 — The one proud of his qualifications: If this person raises his employer high, he will soon push him down for the sake of another person — or rather, of himself. For he thinks much and very highly of himself; every error at work must have come from someone else, for he never errs, and his ability is never praised enough — until he believes he surpasses his boss, and that leads him to compare his qualifications with his employer's. He finds it hard to raise his boss in his judgment of him; instead he loads upon his shoulders every weakness and shortcoming.
5 — The realist: If your name falls under this heading, you are firm in your work and able to perform it with ease, and you govern your conduct with your boss in the same way. You are realistic in your dealings and do not go to extremes, and you do your best to avoid collision or conflict with your boss, because you meet the matter with realistic discussion and inquiry; and if your employer's idea prevails, you accept that as fact and as right, since the responsibility is his and
he has the right to shape it as he wishes.
In cases of disagreement, the following causes may be working against you: either your relations with your boss have not yet settled, because you are both new to the situation, or one of you is in a nervous state. To understand this:
First: Observe your own reaction to every new occurrence, and keep in mind the differing working personalities we have spoken of — the hostile, the withdrawn, the self-important, the realist — and when you clash with your employer in some situation, ask yourself toward which course you incline. And remember that knowledge alone is of no use and changes no situation: you must strive to mend the situation, and
dig down to reach the cause of the trouble, and set your position right.
Second: Understand what helps you to become realistic in your work, and remember that feeling must enter even into work; for the heart of realism respects the employer and compels him to return that respect.
Third: Look at yourself: if you were in your boss's place, how would you proceed? If you desire personal advancement, face your situation and take up with him everything that does not please you; you may offer him useful, positive opinions, and help him to become realistic in his thinking — and in his attitude toward you.
