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.
他們是何許人也：主管型的同事有強烈的控制欲。他們無法處理不確定的情況，他們想要控制每件事的結果。

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.”
如何判斷誰是主管型的同事：比起做正確的事情，主管型的同事更愿意表現為他們的主意都是正確的。他們無法忍受別人不同意他們的觀點，那意味著他們不斷地被疏遠。他們也是最不可能對你說“謝謝”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：當心！當主管型的同事失去控制權時，他們會變得我行我素。他們會咆哮，侮辱、恐嚇同事以重新奪回控制權，即使這會嚇到同事，被同事討厭，他們也毫不在乎。

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.
如何保護自己：對付主管型的同事，除非你自己站定中間立場，否則不要退讓。清楚了解哪些項目是不用協商的，留心他們那些不文明的話語——給自己的內心穿好保護套。
