I think that's taught in nearly every "management" or "supervisory" course in the country. Naturally, there is some truth to it. Unfortunately, I grew up in the times when, if you had a question, you asked the "boss", and that's one of several reasons I retired a bit early. In our organization, you knew you could forget asking the boss, because he (or she) wouldn't know. You either found out yourself or asked someone lower down the chain of command./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif
