DEAR BONNIE: My boss needs a new headshot, but she hates every photo taken of her. Any secrets to professional (think government) headshots I can share with her? — JUST THE MESSENGER GIRL

DEAR MESSENGER: I would give your boss a definite plan to shoot at. When you dream of becoming a big shot, the first thing you have to do is make sure you have your headshots done. Their plan is simple enough and none too glamorous: create a photo opportunity to help the individuals photographed cut through red tape. Think not so much the boring gray dullness of government (in making her photo ID) as a recipe for success, and she’s really a boss cook.

If leadership has a secret sauce, it may well be humility. A humble boss understands that there are things [s]he doesn’t know — The Economist

Here’s my recipe.

  1. Start with a good stock

  2. Remove from the mix, or how to fix

  3. Simmer at 45º

  4. Use all-natural ingredients
