I think it's easy to beat up on the boss, but sometimes we must remember that they may have stresses that we don't know about. I've talked to many in the last year, and I can tell you their anxiety is running pretty high. They worry that they'll lose key staff members, they're worried how they're going to meet the expectations of THEIR boss and they do worry about their own jobs. Anyone who can help take away some of that stress -- even if only for a while -- will not only be appreciated by the boss, but by everyone who benefits from a happier manager. Thanks, Wally.

Most bosses wind up in the job without much training and they do it with very little support. In times like these they often take things home that should be left at work. What's especially good about your recommendations is that they'll probably benefit the team member as much as the boss. The less stressed your boss is, the more likely he or she will do a better job.
