职场中应提防的6类同事及应对之策

The Directors
主管型的同事

Who They Are: Director colleagues are obsessed with control. They cannot handle uncertainty, and they want to design the outcome of everything.
他们是何许人也：主管型的同事有强烈的控制欲。他们无法处理不确定的情况，他们想要控制每件事的结果。

How to Identify Them: Directors are more interested in being right than in doing the right thing. They cannot tolerate anyone disagreeing with them, which means they’re constantly alienating people. They are also the most unlikely co-workers to ever say, “Thank you.”
如何判断谁是主管型的同事：比起做正确的事情，主管型的同事更愿意表现为他们的主意都是正确的。他们无法忍受别人不同意他们的观点，那意味着他们不断地被疏远。他们也是最不可能对你说“谢谢”的同事。

What to Watch Out For: Heads up! Directors become loose cannons when they lose control. They will rant, insult and intimidate to keep and regain control, even if it means being disliked and feared by their colleagues.
要注意的是：当心！当主管型的同事失去控制权时，他们会变得我行我素。他们会咆哮，侮辱、恐吓同事以重新夺回控制权，即使这会吓到同事，被同事讨厌，他们也毫不在乎。

How to Protect Yourself: With directors, don’t yield until you’ve reasoned to a middle ground. Be clear about what plans are non-negotiable and be mindful of their verbal drive-bys—and also always wear your psychic Kevlar.
如何保护自己：对付主管型的同事，除非你自己站定中间立场，否则不要退让。清楚了解哪些项目是不用协商的，留心他们那些不文明的话语——给自己的内心穿好保护套。
