Anyone who has to yell at a subordinate repeatedly hasn't got the skills to be a leader. As such, you have two options:
1. Walk away from the abuse and find a better job
2. Try to break through to him that there's a better way to communicate what he needs to you.

Option 1 you can already handle, but option 2 takes some work.
Ask him when he sets a task to give you the parameters for success, and the criteria he needs to say "job well done". This is a professional way of getting him to express his expectations in advance.

Perhaps this boss has been aclimated to his tactics in the past. You know being rewarded with bossy things because he yelled and therefore realized this is a valueable skill. In fact, intimidating your coworkers is possibly the worst tactic to have.

Intimidation and "yelling" generally leads to high stress and high blood pressure. What happened aboard ships when the crew were far out to sea and decided not to take the high ranking arrogant captain's orders? they mutinied and that could happen in a business way in the future.

I don't abdicate mutinying against your boss, since that shows disrespect to the hierarchy of the business, but in the same regards....if your boss yells at you, or even other coworkers, it prooves without a doubt that he has no respect for that person-- as a person....only a servant.

The best course of action when faced with a delimma like this is to keep your head no matter what obsticles are thrown at you. It's hard, I know....but it's still the best possible professional way to handle the matter.

Should he turn directly to you and attempt to intimidate you with his loud, obnoxious and threatening behavior...especially when you do not believe you have earned such a grandious reward....I would simply turn to him upon my reply and state calmly that his actions speed the inevitability of heart disease due to stress and high maintenance and that a course in stress and rage management might cure some of his cronic illnesses. Of course...I am a smart ***. I don't recommend this choice of words for everyone unless you can take the heat in the kitchen.

What options do you have? Have a Human Resources department? Have a manager above his head? Have a lawyer? Have another job in mind?

Go ahead and talk to other managers either on his same level or above and explain to them that you need some advice on how to handle the matter because you know soon enough you are going to snap back but do not relish losing your job. They may take a sympathetic ear and assist you. If that doesn't work and you possibly feel threatened or in some sor tof hostile environment because of this boss' behavior, get your human resource officer to inform you of your human rights as an employee. That is what they are there for. If it comes to it, lodge a formal written complaint, but remain ever so patient. Handling it calmly will do wonders for your future and career, no matter where you end up. Try also transferring to another department if you have that ability.

Certain coourts of law take extreme measures to prevent this sort of emotional abuse from a boss, or royalty, depending on whom you speak. Perhaps you even have a case for a lawyer if the matter gets out of hand. Just remember it IS emotional distress. Even POWs and hostages are intimidated, compare your situation to them and see how simular you are.

I have seen this kind of abuse among co-workers. Bosses who are intimidating often lack confidence themselves. They don't realise how it can effect the esteem of others and can cause a lack of productivity. Many people can not change jobs and so those who find this treatment unbearable have no choice but to deal with the abuse. There are some good books and websites you could look into. They can help you understand how to deal with this global problem. For answers go to: www.bully on line.

No, do no longer decrease your self and shout. bear in suggestions the way you felt once you have been shouted at? Your subordinates will comprehend you much extra while you're polite and careful in figuring out on your words. you would be rewarded by skill of extra dependable and committed workers. Bullying in no way works long term.
