A poem that I've learned from my high school days plus the military mantra of "obey first before you complain" has been my guiding light in all my work experiences.
If you do the first sentence of the poem, you don't need to experience the rest of it. Loyalty entails that you strive to help those whom you are working for. You initiate improvements instead of complain, adjust your behavior and attitude in order to be of better help, and you don't perpetuate gossip and intrigues against your boss.
If you've done all that and still you don't sync with the organization, then you can leave gracefully.
Bosses are human, they're not perfect you need to accept that.
And whatever you do, please don't blame your poor performance and bad attitude on the boss's imperfections--you just can't.
Your attitude is your accountability.

I have worked for and with managers who are perceived as difficult before. People complain about them a lot. I have challenges with them too, yes. But the only real struggle I've done is just really to learn the standards they've set for everyone and adjust my skills and knowledge in order to meet their standards and be of value to the team I'm in with them. I don't blame them. I learned from them instead.
I always leave (and I resigned a lot 🙂) for self growth, not because I had a bad boss. It's not their fault if I can't meet their standards.
You don't really need a Great Leader to be a Great Follower. You start with that, that's called Self Leadership.
And because of that I've had very good working relationship with all the big bosses that I've work for and with in the past, even if some of them were perceived as difficult by many.
Having a lot of people complain about the bosses supposed difficult behavior do not necessarily make it true. Remember, mediocrity abounds and mediocre people whines and whiners do it in packs.
