Be careful what you wish for! It was my first job. I was fed up with my line manager; he wasn't much of a boss at all. He let me get on with my job and he did not interfere. After a while, I was not satisfied with the situation. I wanted more guidance, more input, more ‘hands-on’ from him. I went to see him in his office and I asked for two meetings a week with him. Then he told me an old fable. Some frogs were unhappy because they had no- one to rule them. They sent a message to Jupiter, asking for a king. Jupiter didn't want to spend much time worrying about frogs, so he dropped a log in their pond and told them it was their king. Eventually, the frogs got fed up with this king who said nothing and did nothing. They sent another message to Jupiter, asking for a better king.
