Handling Bossy People.?

I’m more of a quiet leader. Lead by example type.

How do all of you Alphas handle people that are looking to boss you and control you like let’s say the work place or anywhere for that matter and are people that are in no leadership position to do so.?

Interested to read everyone’s response

There are two scenarios, either you are right about the suggestion or hey are wrong.
If right, go along with it or you will come as insecure.
If wrong, don’t go along.

There is nothing as a quiete leader, if you are a leader, you should initiate decision making first. Before someone else give you instruction, you come up with instructions and show them the way.

And if they are bullying you, and above you in the heirarchy, you better comply. If not, you can have a masculine confrtontion. But if he is right and you don’t comply, you will come off as insecure.

@Mystery :
Bossy people tend to boss around those they feel are weak. It doesn’t have anything to do with being vocal or quiet. When bossy people or bullies sense that someone has a solid mental frame and a lot of inner strength, they usually leave that person alone. Some of them might try to test you once to see if you’re really as strong as you seem. When you powerfully put them back in their place, they’ll stop testing you. Please note that I say powerfully. I didn’t say violently.

This doesn’t have anything to do with being alpha. There are a lot of fake alphas. But you can’t fake inner strength.

There are a few subs here that are scripted to create and develop inner strength. Godlike Masculinity is the most obvious one. Then Ascension. Commander is a good one too. Emperor and Khan would do the same thing but those are more advanced subs that cover a lot of different areas.

If you’re looking for subs that will help you grow and project inner strength and a “can’t fuck with me” aura, stack Godlike Masculinity and Ascension and you’re good. Or stack Godlike Masculinity, Ascension and Commander. Now with a combo like that you risk becoming the one who bosses people around. :joy:

Absolutely not true. There are plenty of quiet leaders. Leadership has nothing to do with being vocal. Leadership is personal. It is about get people to get things done or taking people to the right destination. Whether in entrepreneurship, corporate workplace, sports, entertainment or any other fields, the world around us is filled with quiet leaders who don’t need or even want the spotlight.

Can you give some examples of these people?

Me.

I’ve always been quiet. Even shy when I was young. Still it was me who told what to do to everyone. I just expected them to follow my orders.

Of course, not everyone did. Wouldn’t matter, things tended to go the way I wanted them to go anyway.

I’m not a physically imposing person.

If someone tries to boss me around, I just ignore them. And if they kept trying, it usually ended when I asked why should I. And in many cases, they ended doing what I wanted them to do.

This was decades before I even encountered subliminals.

Now I can’t even remember when was the last time someone tried to boss me around.

Edit: I usually don’t tell what people should do. But if something needs to be done, better them than me :stuck_out_tongue:

Be more intimidating and sit them back on their ass. I don’t think you can be a quiet leader all the time - there will always be people who try to slide in and want to take your place. You have to play the lion at those times otherwise they’ll keep on disrespecting you or outright treat you like you are their slave.

Sometimes you gotta put your foot down that’s all.

I agree with @IRON

To you, you might have a million mental justifications for being a quiet leader but to a guy like me it’s because you’re weak and fearful and due to this fear… you tend to not want to ruffle any feathers and therefore play the quiet loving type, you might even just not want to have a bad reputation and want to be liked which is still under the same umbrella of fear.

Nobody responds to that with genuine respect, it’s a very passive way of leading, you want to be liked, you want to have as little friction as possible, and there will be people like me who will push your buttons and challenge you

The quiet type who’s also willing to slam people down is very apparent from the get go (this is a great leader type to be), the quiet type who’s quiet to avoid friction is also apparent

If you make it clear through your demeanor you’re willing to do anything to avoid confrontation, what’s stopping me… from abusing that? My good nature? That’s a bad bet because this world relies of every time of person including the wolves

Off the top of my head:
Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tom Brady, Dr Dre, Bernard Arnault, Tim Cook, Zinedine Zidane, Steph Curry, Hubert Joly, for example.
If you don’t know was who they are, just Google them. These are people who successfully led large organizations or who made a significant impact in their field while absolutely not being know to be vocal.

EDIT: By the way I can add Beyonce Knowles, Michael Jackson, Teddy Riley, Quincy Jones, Babyface and Phil Jackson to this.

Then you’ve never met people who speak softly or quietly but effectively. Being soft spoken doesn’t mean avoiding confrontation. True quiet leaders will get you to do exactly what they want without raising their voice or being rude or talking too much. You only know the power they have when you’re in front of it. I have seen it happen many many many times.You will never dare pick a fight with Tim Duncan. Beyonce never has to raise her voice to get people to do exactly what she wants them to do. Michael Jackson had one of the softest voices you could ever hear and was notoriously shy. But he was also a relentless leader who got things done in the studio or on the stage. It is amazing how the most imposing professionals deferred to his authority without him having to raise his voice. By the way his sister Janet is the same way.

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple is very polite and soft spoken he is just as effective as Steve Jobs who was a vocal leader. When Steve Jobs was unable to lead Apple due to health reasons, he handpicked soft-spoken Tim Cook to be his replacement. Why do you think that is? Please do not mistake quietness with weakness.
Now it’s also true that some people are quiet because they’re weak.

Yep you’re right

But nobody cares, he wants different inputs, not one guy disliking a certain input and trying to colonize the thread

Also starting off with “you’ve clearly never” makes people just cringe, cmon mate you have to know this doesn’t inspire anyone to be on your side.

@Mystery :
I’m exiting this thread but I want to make sure that you understand my perspective. You don’t have to become someone else. That’s the best path to weakness. Trying to morph into a vocal person won’t help you one bit. You only need to become a stronger and more powerful version of yourself. You don’t even have to pick fights with people. Just make sure your pushback is heard clearly even if you state it quietly. Even if you confront people, you can do it quietly but decisively.
Make sure you cultivate inner strength and a strong frame of mind while staying the quiet type of person you are.

How do I know these things? At one point of my life I spent years studying leadership and influence for professional reasons. There is very little about that topic that I don’t know.
Good luck on your journey. :muscle:

On this I absolutely agree. You have to be willing to stand your ground. Be it physical or not.
Then there are degrees of “slamming” people down, depending on the situation.

Regarding the topic of the thread, my understanding of Bossy is when someone is clearly trying to be more than they really are capable of. Usually the situation doesn’t include threat of violence.

Giving off an aura of seriousness, purpousefulness and detachment with a vibe of potential aggression if crossed seems to work. No words need to be said.

Don’t confused the alpha male to a good leader. While it is true that alpha dominates the workplace, because he has some traits that stood up from others. A good leader knows how to motivate, inspires people (to name a few). He does not recognize himself as above everyone and all for him. A leader has a different form of strength that comes from within.

There are ways to handle difficult people in the workplace, practice doing it.

Simple answer is to be out of control. Be uncontrollable. When you are out of control, no one can predict your next move. Keep them in the unknown. They can only control what they know. If you become unknown then they can’t control you. Be out of control. You gotta out create them. Never win through arguments, always win through alliances and action.

If you radiate confidence and have strong eye contact in your conversations
It will get better soon…
An alpha sub would help and a social sub if you cant find the right words at these moments

In my opinion and experience, this is an invalid statement. There’s no such thing.

If you as a person are encountering people who try to boss you and control you, then it means you’re not congruent. It means you’re a beta male.

Interactions between people, are manifestations that confirm each other’s subconscious framework.

It really depends on the situation. I’m a sarcastic smart ass, so if I really don’t appreciate it, I make fun of them. Right there and to their face. If I get the people they were trying to impress to laugh at them once they usually knock it off.
I used to work in a place where it was acceptable to “handle” personal beefs off site after work. I took that route a couple of times, but that doesn’t apply to most of the working world.

From my experience working in a hostile environment:

The moment you cause a fuss by standing up for yourself is the moment the bossy people start reassessing who you are. More often or not once you stick to your guns (in a quiet manner for example) the bossy behaviour will continue but not for long.

I’ve swallowed a lot of abuse at my workplace putting up with con artists, dominant men and women trying to tell me how to do my job to the point of crying hysterically. Listening to Genesis, Dragon Reborn and Fearsome module gave an alpha foundation to practice saying no and coping with numerous verbal threats. Carrying an air of dominance and violence will sub-communicate to bossy people that you won’t put up with any kind of shit. Every day I get challenged daily and they always come away swearing, upset and angry that they couldn’t get their way with me.
