Managing our bosses is never easy, and especially ones that have this visioning view and avoid the day-to-day operations. When asked for time, it’s great to share with the boss what that time will impact (slowing down some of the results), or suggest a time when it will not impact you as much. There will always be issues between colleagues, so focus your time on only those issues that are impact your success and don’t try to cover for everything your boss should be dealing with.
