We received the news release below about the Best Boss Contest. Will you be entering your boss in this contest?

"10 days left to Nominate the Best Boss for 2007

In honor of Boss Day, October 16, 2007, iBusinessChannel.com is searching for the Best Boss of 2007. Nominations will be accepted through September 15, 2007. Go to www.bestbosscontest.com [0] to nominate a person you think should be Best Boss of 2007.

 

"Managing can be difficult. We hear so much about bad bosses. It's time that we honor the good bosses," said Ruth King, CEO of ibusinesschannel.com and author of the book, The Ugly Truth about Managing People (Sourcebooks, Inc. 2007).

National Boss Day was started in 1958 when Patricia Bays Haroski, then an employee at State Farm Insurance Company in Deerfield, Ill., registered the holiday with the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. She designated October 16 as the special day because it was her father's birthday. Ms. Haroski's purpose was to designate a day to show appreciation for her boss and other bosses. She also hoped to improve the relationship between employees and supervisors. She believed young employees often do not realize the challenges bosses face in running a business."

The headline on the Web site should say Whose Boss is the Best instead of Who's Boss is the Best, but who are we to judge?
