Do not let fear and anxiety get ahead of you when confronting an angry boss. Remember that whatever happens in the workplace remains professional and should not be taken lightly, as well as personally. Talking to your angry boss may make you want to just accept being on the losing end, and do everything you can for him to acknowledge your apologies and just get the situation over with. On a positive note, that may not always be the case. Here's how.
1. Preparation. Stay calm and have the courage to confront the situation. Prepare yourself for a rather unfriendly conversation. Walk and stand tall, or else you may find yourself being more intimidated than you expected, because of your poor form.
2. Attitude. Be polite once you meet him. It is highly advised not to smile or adopt a cheerful disposition at this moment. Keep calm and settled without appearing neither arrogant nor humbled. Simply come up to him with all due respect, then confirm if he was asking for you.
3. Stand your ground. Expect that he will begin venting out all his frustrations and demands on you. He may raise his voice or even shout at you, but remain still and allow him to do so. Listen to what he's saying as most of it might pertain to your shortcomings in the workplace. Remember that the entire discussion must only cover the circumstances in the workplace, between boss and employee. Do not attempt to react the same way, or violently, unless he starts to spin things out of control
