Answer 1

Avoiding negotiations is the best way to avoid any conflict. In order to avoid negotiation style one can either remain silent and to what is being said or you can pass that responsibility to another member in your team. Avoidance can be used to freeze the negotiations and silence causes the other person to acknowledge first as they think that you are not at all interested. The party with greater time restrictions usually agrees first. Competitive negotiators are results-driven If you are not sure about your own negotiation ability, it is best to ask another member of your team to lead. You need a strong negotiator against such an objective-driven negotiator.

If boss is very forcing or Directing the first thing one can do is to understand the nature of job secondly understand what's your role and responsibility, thirdly analyze how much time will you take to finish that work fourth grow patience as everywhere the managers are not same one need to adjust accordingly. Always be prepared with your research whenever you think such a situation is going to arise and give him cut to cut response. Be neutral and don't think personally and stick to the problems and don't take things so seriously. Try to think putting yourself in your manager's shoes too and then suggest things which mutually benefit. In order to avoid any future conflict make sure that you have a summary of everything that has been discussed.
