When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

boss's/chief's MTA (most trusted advisor)
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 4 days (2017-01-21 10:40:16 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
The role of the trusted and most loyal adviser has been a crucial one to family concerns throughout the ages. During the Korean Joseon Dynasty, Kim Cheo-Seon, a eunuch, advised successive kings wisely. Sir Francis Walsingham, Principal Secretary to Queen Elizabeth I of England, is remembered still by history as a powerful adviser unwavering in his loyalty to the throne. Popular culture portrayed the role dramatically in the film The Godfather in which the character Tom Hagen serves as consigliere to the Corleone family’s underworld empire.
Many family-controlled firms (FCFs) benefit from the professional and personal advice of someone outside of the family. That person, through a mix of trust, integrity, respect and experience, is accepted within the family’s inner circle and becomes their most confidential adviser and counsellor. It is a role I have designated as the Most Trusted Adviser (MTA).
The MTA differs from other types of advice provider. Theirs is often a hidden role that many people do not know exists. The MTA is privy to the most confidential of information pertaining to both the family and the business. I use the term to refer to someone who usually advises to one family only on both business and family matters, and who is often employed full-time by that family.

... what do MTAs do, how do they do it, and how do they add value to their firms?
Right to be heard
“I can’t have the situation where my advisor says “I’m right, damn it all, I’m right.” There can’t be trust if egos start getting in the way.” ~
Owner
The role of the MTA is to “direct the attention” of the CEO, says Strike, and this requires a strong voice. “Most trusted advisors must be true to their values, absolutely trustworthy, and have the family’s best interests at heart. They need to be selfaware, but without a strong ego or need to win.”
An MTA also needs “weight” to gain the right to be heard.
Weight is a combination of expertise and experience. “MTAs have a depth of competency and a breadth of knowledge,” says Strike. “As one of the owners said about his MTA: ‘He ain’t God but nobody has a head like him.’”
A good soldier
“If they’ve heard and understood you, but they still make a decision that’s contrary to what you feel is right, you have to be prepared to go with whatever they decide and make it work. You have to be a good soldier.” ~ MTA
An MTA needs to understand his or her role in relation to others and to the group as a whole, says Strike. “He also understands that the decision belongs to the decision-maker.
Once the decision has been made, he has to commit to that decision.”

With little experience, and against all predictions to the contrary, Kushner had managed Trump’s way to the White House, and was now poised to be his most trusted adviser and enforcer in the West Wing. This left many of the staid business leaders in the audience confused about whether Kushner really shared their values and worldview — indeed, whether he had ever really belonged to their world at all. - http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/01/jared-kushner-t...

W wywiadzie sam Górski mówi o tym, że każdy chce być jak najbliżej ucha prezesa. Nie chodzi o osobę zaufaną prezesa, ale zwyczajnie o ucho samego prezesa, czy szerzej o to aby prezes wysłuchał dana osobę, aby móc być blisko ucha prezesa po to, aby móc do niego mówić i być wysłuchanym.

Zamiast Mariusza na Nowogrodzkiej rezyduje Joachim, chciałem przypomnieć.
No tak, ale mi się skleił jakoś pan Mariusz właśnie z prezesem. Był zawsze taki obrazek z Sejmu, że oni siedzą w pierwszej ławie i ten mu coś mówi do ucha albo coś mu sufluje.

Nie od dziś wiadomo, że wszystkie najważniejsze decyzje państwowe zapadają w biurze prezesa Jarosława Kaczyńskiego (68 l.) przy ul. Nowogrodzkiej. To dlatego tam przed każdym sejmowym posiedzeniem pielgrzymują najważniejsi politycy PiS. Każdy z nich walczy o to, by być jak najbliżej ucha prezesa.

Option 2:
whisper/whispering/speaking into the chairman's ear
The series, called “Ucho Prezesa” (“The Chairman’s Ear”) pokes fun at the ruling PiS party, which came to power in Poland in late 2015. It is mainly set in the office of the party’s chairman, who receives various visitors, including ministers, the head of the public TV broadcaster and the country’s president.
