The standard antidote to one's overactive hostility is to train oneself to defer reaction. As my smart friend Tom Murphy so frequently says, “You can always tell the man off tomorrow, if it is such a good idea."
Poor Charlie's Almanack by Charles T. Munger

DIMINISHING ISN’T INEVITABLE. When dealing with a controlling boss, we have more control than we might think. We choose how much legitimacy we grant to a Diminisher’s views; we choose whether or not we embrace lowered expectations for ourselves; we choose how she makes us feel. Those are choices. So, too, we can choose to maintain high expectations for ourselves, and our own analysis and evaluation of our contribution can help us to stand up to Diminishers in healthy and helpful ways. The diminishing may continue, but we can mitigate its destructive effect.
A little boldness now is worth a lot more than death-defying courage later. The former needs a lot less of fortune’s favor to succeed than the latter.
