RE: 10 ways to alienate your boss
Great article. There's always No. 11 - Expecting your boss to be an effective boss.
I'm sure that most of us have worked for a Manager who simply doesn't care for standards, quality or team harmony.
The quickest way to alienate a Manager like this is to expect them to behave as a good boss should e.g. effectively, smartly or even to provide inspration to subordinates.
This is a sure fire way to alienate yourself from them.
