            worse.

            Like the person who resigned via night drop box at the bank. (Yes, really.) Or those who never returned to work, instead of just leaving their file drawer keys in the mailbox.

 Ed Linares may never be invited to speak at management conferences or be written up in Fortune magazine. But he is the boss who, Dominick Miserandino says, taught him how to manage himself, others and his business — in that order.
