I can add few more point to this:
Don't ever argue with the BOSS and never interrupt him.
Every time you go to your boss with an issue, go with solutions and give only yes/no answers, no explanations. If you know the answer/solution then speak, if you don't know seek for time to know it but don't speak with assumptions.

Its really nice !!"Bosses and supervisors aren't from another planet, but sometimes they seem to be. Most people at some point in their lives have to deal with a difficult boss.I believe one should be focused,Planned and always be professional while dealing with the boss rather dn polishing and buttering one should understand the (terminology) the way of working of the boss and definitely can resolve the conflict.

If you are the boss you can also follow the following points because being boss is not Easy task and you have to win the heart of every Employee so that they can trust you and admire you:-
Have a little tolerance in your heart. Your staff works how ever many hours for you and then lives the remainder in his or her personal life, which may leave a big impact, bleeding into work hours. Your employee may be cranky or have an off, low-producing day due to any number of personal reasons. (Still, remember it is their responsibility to deal with their personal lives on their time. You must remind them of this if they continually have the problem, but if it's a rare occurrence, do allow for the human limitation.)
Understand that things beyond your staff's control are bound to come up from time to time. As long as it's not habitual, it's in your best interest to treat your people like PEOPLE, not objects or numbers or cogs in your grand wheel. Give them the freedom to handle their personal issues, even if they come up on your time - as long as it isn't continual or egregious.
If you are on a tight budget, becoming a good boss can save you a ton of money. Many studies show how a staff that feels you care for them and value them will be far less motivated by money, and far more motivated by their sense of empowerment, value to you and the company, and the feeling that they have significant responsibilities.
Have fun with your staff. Joking with them and allowing them to see you as a human being binds them to you with feelings of friendship. Letting them address you as "My Queen" or "Captain" may amuse them. It's okay, then, should your staff start doing something like this, to address them occasionally as "My Prince," or "Lieutenant Commander!" etc. This is charming to them and lets them know they are not simple minions, but essential members of your crew or "royal court." While it's important to maintain the reality of your position as their leader, it's also important that you be accessible. (And it's quite telling as to how they feel about you - being addressed with a bow and "My Queen," even privately or in a light-hearted way says this person respects and admires you, and is willing to defer to you).
Being a good boss really is a lot like being a king or queen. You have to rely on your people for so much, it's important that they feel loyal to you, and do things the way you want them done. Telling them to remember that wherever they go, even on their own time, they stand for you and your company, and to remember who they are in that light - it's actually a good thing. It makes them feel invested in the company in a very deep way, and those who are your very best will always go far above and beyond the call of duty to serve you to the best of their abilities.
Recognize that you need to learn to be a boss. Many of us are promoted to be a boss because we did a good job as employees. But the job of a boss is very different - and sometimes counter-intuitive. Without some level of effort, you may not grow into a good boss. Instead, you may continue to be just a good employee to your new boss.
A good way to remember the importance of treating your employees well is to remind yourself to think of them as you do your good customers. Your good customers often get the benefit of the doubt in a dispute. You will sometimes offer special perks as a way to say thanks and/or build loyalty. No matter what kind of personal mood you may be in on a given day you always put on a good positive face for your good customers. And, of course, you always treat those customers with great respect. These are the kinds of things you should also be doing for your good employees since, at the end of the day, they are every bit as important - if not more so in some cases - as those good customers you so treat them well! Their morale will be higher, and therefore business will be better, the more valued by you they feel.
Don't reprimand the entire department for what one person is doing wrong. For example, you discover that Ms Sheela is coming in late nearly every day, while everyone else is on time. Instead of sending a group email about the importance of punctuality, meet with her to discuss the problem.
Being nice takes the same amount of time (or less) as being a curt, rude, or a jerk. And it gets you treated better in return.
Be cautious about becoming friends with your workers. Try to keep communications on a professional level, at least in the office.

Appreciate all above points about BOSS and how to make Boss listen to you...
Do remember:
When BOSS shouts at you, it doesn't mean you are wrong ..... understand his situation.... think and try to come up with right solutions and get the work done smoothly next time....
When BOSS shouts at you, don't ever cry before him...... it shows your inefficiency and BOSS doesn't like sensitive people....
When BOSS shouts at you, don't lead it to resignation ..... it doesn't make any sense resigning when someone shouts at us..... here it shows your weakness at accepting your mistakes..... don't ever think/reply "WHY SHOULD I????" .....
When BOSS shouts/gets angry at you, listen to him completely, don't even try to interrupt .. think twice... understand the situation.... you may be correct at that moment.... but still bear the situation .... you are not losing any ..... patience can bring many good things ..... be strong at heart .... try to be a LEADER at work.
