5. Give it Time

"This is the person who makes decisions for us?" You're probably not alone in losing confidence in your boss. Chances are, she's coasting on borrowed time. Eventually, the higher-ups will take notice as production drops, turnover rises, and those whispers build to a roar. So wait it out and hope for the best. At the end of the year, you'll be asked: "Did you do everything possible to achieve your goals?" Take comfort in knowing that your boss will face the same question.
