The meeting was an overview of what where and when, and most of the planning was done by a different department, under a different Boss. This was the first year he's ever indicated he wanted to be involved, and then after the fact. Had I known he wanted to be in on the planning, I could have reminded him, but I wasn't included on these planning meetings.

The previous Boss led by, well, by doing nothing. Most of the staff has been here decades, and New Boss only 3 years. I need help in making staff keep Boss in the loop, and training Boss to let me know what he wants to change. I am going to borrow your "better response" when I meet with him on this.

Thanks!
