I agree wholeheartedly, but there are an increasing number of employees who would not agree that the boss pays you to help him. Many of them think the boss pays them to do the 5 line-items on the job description and that's it. No need for thought about any larger goals are necessary. And the bald head poem isn't mine - I took the picture and the poem from <a hrer="http://www.flickr.com/photos/trevorsnyder/" rel="nofollow">the.myrmidon</a> at Flickr. Dan Thanks for the comment!

I love the bald head poem. I also like the practical advice you have for "getting inside the bosses head." (By a negative example.) What you are talking about here is basically the golden rule. "Treat others the way you want to be treated" isn't supposed to be an egotistical analysis of the way we want to be treated. It means if we can figure out what we want, then we're more likely to be able to figure out what other people want. That's what I try to remember when I approach my boss. What does he need from me? How can I help him? <i>After all, that's what he pays me to do.</i> Chris Cree sent me here. I love the bald head poem.
