Quoting caliptrix: Here is the full text, but if I understand well, there is contradiction. But I don't think so, I believe I misunderstood this.
Quote: Myth: Suggest ways to make the boss more popular with the team.
Conventional wisdom:
The boss will appreciate your efforts to improve morale and teamwork.
Why it's a myth:
If your boss is unpopular, there's very little you can do to change that perception.
Try this instead:
When boss-bashing takes place beyond his earshot, don't join the fray. Instead, give the boss credit for things he does well. When the department spy (there always is one) reports back to the boss, he'll learn that you're an ally.
Example:
"Yeah, Joe loses his temper sometimes. But he's really good at defending our interests in front of the budget committee."

"Myth" should say the same idea as "conventional wisdom", and the reverse idea of "try this instead"
so, what is the myth here exactly and what is that we should try? |
lolll
But it's like this here.
