The boss is a Mouse, the subordinate is a Tiger
Under certain conditions, a Tiger can become very prominent and even one of the key figures in the Mouse's "team." Although some features of a Mouse often shock a Tiger. His presence in the team gives the boss more confidence than without him. The mouse is less nervous when making important or "delicate" decisions. As a result, the poise that the boss gets from dealing with the Tiger has a positive effect on his business.
In this business alliance, it is important for both the Mouse and the Tiger not to forget about some of the features of their cooperation. A tiger should not focus its attention on those unusual Mouse tricks that are not directly related to the business. It's the easiest (and most profitable!) for him. to pretend that he has no idea about all this. And if it is impossible to do this for one reason or another, just "take note", refraining from any comments on this matter.
But if the Mouse's actions affect common interests, the Tiger should hint about this to the boss in a correct, unobtrusive way. Mice, in turn, are not recommended to get into a pose and even more so to act according to the rule "I'm the boss — you're a fool." If this happens, it's best for the Tiger to start looking for another boss without delay.
The mouse, in turn, can push the Tiger to new heights — teach him to take more out of life than he is used to.
In short, a strong business alliance is beneficial and beneficial to both. But in order to preserve and develop it, everyone will have to sacrifice something.
The boss is a Mouse, the subordinate is a Cat
But you don't have to play "cat and mouse"! Here you also need to think carefully about who is the hunter and who is his victim: The mouse may end up in the sharp claws of the Cat, and the Cat, in turn, risks being exposed to an unexpected blow. So the most prudent thing is to quickly agree on everything, so to speak, in a civilized manner and strictly adhere to the established rules of the game, without even thinking about breaking them.
The main task of both is not to lose contact and mutual understanding. The more openness and trust there is in each other, the more success can be achieved, and the more intensively and confidently the business will develop. And such stability and confidence are equally important for both a Mouse and a Cat.
The cat must take care of the boss's peace of mind, taking blows from the outside at the right moment. And the Mouse, in turn, is obliged to allow him to engage in long-term planning, interfering in this process as little as possible.
A cat that is subordinate to a Mouse is a rather peculiar personality. The most important thing is that he should feel confident in the future. At the first signs of instability, the Cat begins to get noticeably nervous, moody and complaining.
However, at all other times the Cat should be aware of the true state of affairs in the company. With complete information, he not only feels more confident in an impending storm, but due to his natural characteristics, he often finds a plan that saves himself and his boss, steering where another person cannot do it.
This is not to say that the Cat fundamentally does not accept overtime work. He wouldn't mind staying at the firm for an hour or two. And he can even sacrifice a legitimate weekend or part of a vacation. But only when he sees the point in such an exertion of his own strength, or when, in his opinion, a good salary supplement is due for it. But if the reason for the emergency was the boss's inability or unwillingness to properly organize the work of his subordinates, there is no need to expect labor feats from the Cat — he will find a way to stay on the sidelines, while everyone else will work hard.
