- Keep moving the goal posts. Never let them get used to the way you want things done. Keep them guessing.
- Pick on a single fault and keep reminding them of it.
- Give them feedback on things they cannot change.
- Question their loyalty/commitment/integrity at random
- Patronise them
- Keep them in the dark about important changes then brush off their complaints with 'I thought you knew.'
- If you can't criticise their work, criticise their personal appearance.
- Make out that their mistakes have greater consequences than they actually have.
- Ask them to explain why they made a mistake then constantly interrupt them with your own take on things.
- Take the credit for their achievements and dump your crises on them.
