For me, I always want feedback, new ideas, and people who are not afraid to speak their minds but once a decision/direction is made get the work done. This to me is the very definition of profesional. My boss, however is completely different and this sometimes gets me into trouble. He wants blind loyalty from the very beginning, and can't understand why anybody would disagree with him.



You're an optimist and see value in others, your boss sounds like an insecure pessimist. Just my .02.

I've always told my boss and my employees that I don't need to know everything - as long as I know who does. I know how to listen and believe that nobody knows more about how to do something than the person who deals with it every day.
