Over the past seven years, his behavior has gotten worse. I know he received some counseling in the past, but there has been no improvement. We have watched him bark orders at the paid staff, and he seldom uses please or thank you with anyone. He speaks poorly of others and disregards any suggestions made to him. He takes advantage of the volunteers by asking them to do personal favors, and he once asked a volunteer to loan him money. He reports to a board where he has formed a couple of friendships that are more personal than professional, and they arent inclined to do anything. How do we handle this? We dont want to quit, although a couple of valuable people have left and it has had a huge impact. We have put a lot of time and energy

Tomorrows Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2012 Poor beginnings dont always have to become poor endings. In fact, youll have excellent chances to strengthen your financial and/or material position by building a stronger foundation out of what you have. Take things a step at a time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Dont be surprised if more than one person confides in you without you or them knowing why. Theyll simply feel impelled to tell you things that they wouldnt tell anybody else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It may not be smart to push for certain things, such as matters that affect your material affairs, if you sense the timing is bad. Listen to what your instincts are telling you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Instead of going with the flow as you normally might do, you are likely to be determined to focus on one specific goal. Itll be for a worthy purpose. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Pay attention and you could learn something important by observing how another conducts him or herself in a development that is similar to one you will soon face. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Being fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time will make you privy to some advance information concerning something profitable that is about to go down. Use it with discretion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone you respect who has counseled you correctly in the past is the same person you should go to again if youre having a problem making another critical decision. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Any idea you get that you think might help your work or career is best kept to yourself, at least until you are absolutely certain you would be able to successfully pull if off. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Try to distinguish between being protective and being possessive regarding a loved one. If the leash is held too tightly, it could become a choke chain. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An important development can be finalized to your satisfaction, provided you are tenacious and persistent. Dont settle for secondbest. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If there is something important that you need to do, get it out of the way as early in the day as possible. If you wait until youre pushed into it, you may do a rotten job. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take some time to study and review your financial position. Something that would save or make you more money could come out of a close, meticulous study. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Any favors you do for others arent likely to be repaid immediately. However, when they are, there is a chance youll get more in return than you gave.
