What do you do about your manager?

If your HR manager realizes his strange behavior, you should feel comfortable enough to talk to him and find out what the problem is. Are you doing something wrong or is he just mad crushing on you!! Either way a second party has confirmed a noticable weird behavior by him so you do have some back up if thinigs don't go as planed.

being a bully is one thing. Harassment is another. If he has crossed that line then you have a duty to report his inappropriate behavior to management.  If he's just giving you a hard time try your best to ignore the pinhead. Then.....Fire his butt as soon as you get the chance

I would have a quiet word with her manager, presuming he is not the offending party. If he is then I would go to the person above him. You need not go into details, just say that you have been told in confidence that that man had wandering hands and that younger females of staff resented his approach. Say that you feel that the problem needs addressing as it could get the firm in hot water for not protecting their female staff but it is not up to you to deal with the situation as it is not in your department.

Just tell him to stop and if he doesn't, go to your human resource department and file a complaint against him.

yes, because if you let it fester it will only make things worse.  Just be careful how you approach her, try not to be confrontational.  if that doesn't work, go to your real manager.\n\ngood luck.

leave that to the crew leader, mind your own business and worry about your work, if your doing ur work the way ur suppose to, then let her be, its not up to you to get her fired, let them deal with it themselves.\nhow would u feel if someone was to try to get u fired, u would probably tell them to mind their business.

Ignore her, and do your job to the best of your ability.  Be nice and polite to her, but strictly professional.

I'm confused here, you are the manager.  Shouldn't the assistant be under you or is she the assistant to your boss? \n\nIf she is under you then she needs to understand that you are her boss, and you need to make it known, by using the leadership skills that you must possess since you are in a management position.\n\nIf she is the bosses assistant, then you should have a meeting with your boss about what the chain of command actually is.  So assistants do manage to gain a lot of power.  \n\nEither way if you let her trample over you, it could cause other employees who are under you to lose respect for you since you cannot handle the situation.

You are the manager----let them know thier raise or jobs are in your hands if this continues-----or come to a comprimise they can surf the net only on thier designated breaks------you can also block im software from the computers-----do what you need to to get productive workers!

Try to do what you are told and have as little contact as possible. Depends on politics also. My guess is they paying him or her next to nothing and if does not work out, next, and the next will be the same hungry bend over backwards useless manager. This is a typical cheap corporate way of not paying for good help. I would also look at the bosses boss or the company for that matter. This may not be the company you want to work at.

My manager is my father!  His manager is my mother!  \n\nI have to remind them frequently that they pay me to do a job and they should let me get on with it, otherwise they aren't getting value for money!\n\nYou need to address this issue very carefully, the business is "his baby" and he probably finds it hard to hand it over to someone else.  Gently remind him that he employed you to a job and that you need to get on with it.\n\nGood luck!

Try communication with him/her, if that doesn't work then get another job.  This may help him/her or they may not care and go through workers like underwear.

Have a 'pizza' day or the like.  (Bribery can go a long way :) )\n\nHave group projects to get them to have more teamwork and get along better.\n\nStand up for them. (try to show that you, as the boss, are the same as them, the employee) - but not so much that you're not still seen as the boss!

It depends how bad you need the job, but if you have options, call him/her on it.  When he is cruel, tell him you do not deserve to be treated that way.  When he is self-serving (show me a boss that isn't), don't make it easy on him.  When he is lazy, tell him you are simply too busy to do trivial tasks and ask if he could please do it.  Bottom line:  Stand up for yourself!  He will respect you more if you stand up for yourself then if you roll over in submission.

Good managers create a team of which they are more a member than a leader, if your subordinates are made to feel like participants in the team rather than just workers under a boss they will desire to work harder and help more.\nI suggest a few things:\n1) Ask rather than demand help.\n2) Explain the assisgnment of the team and ask advice on how to get them done best -Even if you head up a cleaning crew, I bet your team can come up with ways to get the job done faster, better, cheaper...etc\n3) Be the hardest worker on the team - people respect a boss who actually works.\n4) Listen to your people, even if you cannot take their suggestions, listen and then explain why.\n5) Be fair, work hard to be impartial... have no favorites.\n6) Give alot of feedback, look for every opportunity to give praise.\n7) Be willing to "fire" a bad apple, the rest of the team will appreciate it.\n8) Gain trust by being trustworthy.. be a person who keeps your word, is always honest, and never gossips.\n9) Small rewards - A can of coke or box of donuts for everyone one day out of your own pocket will pay big dividends.\n10) Middle management is the hardest, explain your bosses expectation to your workers, so they can work with you rather than against you.\n11) Remember they are just people too - having good and bad days just trying to make a living. Treat them as such.\n\nBest of everything with your co-workers.

Report him to the corporate office.  If he owns the business, then no you can't really do much of anything.  Just spread the word that he's awful to the employees and don't support his business.  Maybe he'll shut down.
