Boss being in trouble
Your boss could be going through a rough terrain due to tough personal circumstances or difficulties on the job. It is a great chance for you to develop a close tie with her. Give advice about what the team needs to do. Improve the use of resources to avoid an undesirable lull in business. Assist with managing interdepartmental relationships, strengthen your relationship with other leaders in the organization. However, don’t shield her too much for you are not her keeper. Have a plan (network) in case your boss is replaced.
