I would never call my self a 'boss softener'. My style is much more a hearty FY. "You want it done your way? You do it. You want it done the right way? Get out of my way?" Most bosses couldn't handle that, but the few that could got along really well with me. Because if I didn't know the process and procedure, I'd tell the boss and ask for direction.

Thank you for another really good look at one of my favorite people.
