should I tell my boss about a screw-up that turned out okay, drinking at work events, and more

Ask a Manager

It’s five answers to five questions. Here we go…. 1. Should I tell my boss about a big screw-up that turned out okay?

Brigette Hyacinth

It’s said there are two rules that should be accepted working under a boss. The rule no. 1 is the boss is always right. The rule number 2 states that if the boss is wrong, then, refer to the rule number 1. The fact is a manager may not be always right. Most people feel the need to be right all the time. I’ve seen strong companies fail at the hands of a boss who was unwilling to accept others’ skills and ideas.
