Hi Lisa - echo the thoughts of Wally and Peggy. Isn't it sad that even now that e-mail ( and texting to some extent) is a way of life for most of us you are still having to write about the same thing! Some people just don't get it.

And i love the "sending little bombs throughout the day" idea. It conjured up a picture that might ahve been comical if it was not actually so real and destructive in reality.

They're worth every penny. Harbor pilots have to be qualified to handle the ships they pilot and qualified to handle them in specific waters. It's that combined knowledge of skills and a specific territory that is their core expertise.

My thoughts exactly! It was pretty cool to watch the pilot get off the cruise ship we are on - while we were moving.. . . no splash this time!

Wow - $400,000 - they must be well trained. And I am in the wrong job!

We watched the harbor pilots climbing the rope ladder of the cruise ship when I was on my cruise to Mexico. It was so cool.

If you can get down to Long Beach, WA / Astoria, OR you can see some seriously cool harbor piloting from the Pacific Ocean to the Columbia River. THAT is hard core!

This is a great point. It can also help with succession planning as well. When you're thinking of your tasks it's important to note which tasks you're the only one that knows how to do and come up with a contingency plan for that task in the case of your sudden absence.

Chris comments on 10 Ways To Make Your Boss Love You

Chris — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:19:22 +0000

My boss and I meet every other week for an hour with absolutely no agenda. This is in addition to other meetings we may have to discuss specific things.

We spend most of the hour talking about our current issues, observations about each other and generally catch up with what is happening.

Often my boss asks me for feedback - did somethng work etc. He uses me as a bit of a sounding board.

It works really well (both ways) and to me is the sign of a really good boss.

Publish an agenda, publish minutes, compare the two, do they correlate?

Are action items identifed, with responsible parties assigned, deadlines designated, and follow-up documented through and to completion?

Great question, Lisa. I come at it from a different position. The things you list are important, but they don't measure the effectiveness of the committee. A committee, presumably, is set up to accomplish something. The important thing to measure is how well they do that.
