Are you working for a narcissist? Do you go home each night and exhaust your friends and family with horror stories from your workday? Are you routinely assigned projects with wildly unrealistic deadlines and arbitrary last-minute changes?   Do you share ideas with your boss only to have them later presented as his or her own? Have you developed a sick sense that no matter how hard you try to please your boss, your best efforts will be wrong

or not good enough?

The common wisdom is that the strengths of narcissistic leaders more than compensate for their shortcomings. Yet due to their extreme confidence and exaggerated sense of their abilities, narcissists often end up in leadership positions for which

they are not well suited.

Most advisors suggest you quit the difficult job.  But, what if it’s your dream job

in your dream field? 

We have developed twenty controversial tips for staying put!  Instead of leaving, hiding, or fighting the narcissist boss, we have a plan that will help you keep your sanity, while keeping your job, and being successful. 

Don’t leave your job,

become a successful Narcissistant.
