> less-than-optimal, but I would do it, anyway. How did those things turn out? (Been in similar situations at my previous job)

  Both good and bad. In some cases, the boss was right, and I was wrong (always a good idea to tell the boss they were right). In other cases, I was right, and the boss was wrong (seldom a good idea to tell the boss they were wrong). Human relationships, as another commenter pointed out, are the real meat in life, and tend to present the biggest challenges. My self-discipline and self-awareness have almost nothing to do with my career, but are the result of a lifetime of personal self-development. Long, boring story.

  Comes up all the time between me and my boss with whom I share a mutual respect and, similar to parent, sometimes he was right and sometimes I was right. At the end of the day, it didn't really matter because as a manager the outcomes were his responsibility, therefore he gets the final say.

    Exactly. Its not your job to make all the decisions. Its your job to make sure all the decisions are informed decisions.
