Bosses who exercise are nicer to employees

If your boss is giving you a hard time, gift him/her with a pair of running shoes. Stressed bosses who exercise are less likely to vent their frustration on their employees than those who don’t.

As expected, the more stressed the supervisors, the more likely were their subordinates to feel victimized. Interestingly, the study found that only moderate levels of exercise were necessary to minimize abusive supervision, such as working out one to two days a week. All types of exercise- working out in a gym, swimming, playing a sport, or running- buffered the hostility between the boss & employee.
