Hi,

my advice is - give him a gift - "Peopleware" [Tom DeMarco,
Timothy Lister: Peopleware, 2nd ed., pp. 97-98, Dorset House
Publishing, 1999]. I foud it really good and your boss would
understand what the role of the management is.

I highly recommend the book to anyone who is a part
of that "software industry" - as a manager or a programmer.

Actually I planned to give the book to my former boss as
"a farewell gift"... Maybe he would understand...

Good luck,

Rado
