I gave up my career in management consulting as a principal with one of the big six firms to join my brother's "very successful" mining operation after the passing of his wife. Previously, we had very little business contact and had no idea what he was like in business. Well, I am now in hell as I am constantly being abused verbally and shouted at as if I am a child. He is also rough with staff - you would be damned if you do and damned if you don’t on just about any issue. In my previous life with the MC firm I would draw down on earnings and the firm would reconcile my account at the end of each year. Now, I feel like a beggar and am being accused of owing him money. What are your suggestions? I have carefully read your article because I am looking for solutions relating to my relationship with my elder brother.

This behaviour is not exclusively or even primarily a male trait. What happens when its a man? What happens when its a woman? Answer these questions and you will move closer to the core issues.
