A good boss is a good communicator.  So many times I have found that a boss can have a very professional manner in which he conducts his business but often he can forget to inform his PA of certain important things.  

I sit down with my boss on a Mon morning to update him on previous activities and then he adds new items for me to address.  It is about the only time we both have - the rest of the week he would cc me on emails so I can just action from my desk.

A good boss is also someone who involves his PA in activities.  I took on this role just at the end of 2003 and find that it takes a while to get to know someone especially when I didn't take on this role from my first day.  Having said that I am involved where necessary and not involved when not needed as he has a team of direct managers who he deals with regarding finance and service delivery.

So far I cannot complain as I have been able to attend training courses and represent my company at events with our local hotel where we are one of their top clients.  

I work in a relaxed atmosphere so having a boss who doesn't get angry or shout is a real bonus.  Being yelled at in work is not something I would want and I consider myself very lucky I don't have to face this.
