When my boss annoys me, I've found that it helps if I "chant" for him. This is part of my Buddhist practice; there's also a Buddhist meditation called Loving Kindness that I think would work for me, but chanting is easier. Knickerbocker wrote about "shifting your own perspective." This is what chanting and Loving Kindness do for me; I don't practice with the expectation that some deity or supernatural power will change my boss. Rather, I hope to gain understanding of my boss's perspective, and, ultimately, acceptance. Thus, I am the one who changes.
