Distancing from your boss in trouble
Distance yourself from a sinking boss without showing open disloyalty. Sitting on the fence is the winning strategy. Support her as usual, but keep the distance. Be open to all directions and be ready. Problems in management usually evoke prompt solutions. Do not develop a close tie with your boss exclusively by socializing. Be sure to earn her support through a variety of means. Be clear that your work activities are your products. Develop a broad range of contacts and a network of support in which your boss is not the only player. Find ways to stand apart from your boss a little, associate yourself with her in the best professional ways.
