Questions & Answers about Para la jefa, esta actitud es bastante lógica.

Why do we use para instead of por here?
We use para here to express an opinion or a personal perspective. It means 'in the boss's opinion' or 'from her point of view'. If you used por, it would sound like the attitude was caused by the boss, rather than how she views it.
How do we know actitud is feminine so we can use esta?
As a general rule in Spanish, nouns ending in -ud (like la actitud, la salud, or la juventud) are feminine. Because it is feminine and singular, we use the feminine word esta (this).
Why doesn't bastante change its ending to match the feminine word lógica?
In this sentence, bastante is acting as an adverb meaning 'quite' or 'rather'. Adverbs never change their endings to match gender or number. It would only change to bastantes if it were an adjective describing a plural noun, such as bastantes problemas.
Is la jefa the standard way to say 'the female boss', or can I say la jefe?
While you might occasionally hear la jefe in some older texts, la jefa is the standard, most natural way to refer to a female boss in modern Spanish in Spain.
