Dealing with a difficult boss or co worker is not an easy thing, it takes so much intelligence and wisdom to go about it. I think it should start within you by taking care of your own emotions and reactions to how they treat you. When you can handle yourself, it is easy to handle another person.

With your own emotions intact, you know better than arguing with your boss or co worker. So you choose to be open minded, communicate effectively and draw the limits of how long you can converse with them.

When everything seems hard for you to handle alone, seek the mediation of another party. Preferably someone in a higher position than both of you.

It remain very difficult to manage a difficult boss and coworker. Once in my career I faced both in one team. My boss name was Mr. Mushahid and difficult coworker was Mr.Adil Nadeem. The company was gsk when I just appointed there as a Medical sales Executive. The duration in between these two were most difficult time of my job, because of my extra performance both of them were after me. The Regional sales Manager was in my favour so my job remain secured. I was trying my best to talk both of them gently, to perform my duty but they were trying to upset me always. After sometime I changed my team and there I was in right hands.

To manage a difficult boss or coworker, patience, diplomacy and effective communication skills are needed. Stay calm and composed, comprehend their viewpoint, set limits that are easily understood, choose your fights wisely, use "I" statements when talking, and ask for criticism to improve. This requires professionalism, empathy and assertiveness in order to navigate these relationships successfully. Producing communication that is productive; problem solving; and addressing major issues impacting productivity like morale or well-being is important. It’s possible to manage tough co-workers or bosses by having a sympathetic approach towards the hard situations.
