I've seen my share of office tyrants. Bad bosses do often act like children, and calm "parenting" can be very helpful. I'm glad to see someone take on this important problem and offer solutions.

In any case, it obviously has no place in the office, since it can be quite disruptive. I think we have a true TOT if this kind of behavior becomes a habit, a tendency. Employees need to be well-equipped to deal with "TOTs". I especially like the idea of making bosses understand the employee's perspective better. Effort should be made from both sides, then we'll have a truly respectful workplace. Looking forward to Part 2.
