Which of these phrases sounds most correct

1. "Create great work for your and your boss' presentations".


2. "Create great work for you and your boss' presentations".


3. "Create great work for yours and your boss' presentations".


4. "Create great work for your presentations and for your boss' presentations".

I'm thinking the last one provides the most clarity, but I've been told the first one technically correct.

I think there should be an "s" on the end of "boss's".

If you intend to mean that these presentations are the things for which work is being created then 1 and 4 are both good.

On the other hand, if you intend to mean that you and your boss are the things for which work is being created then you'll have to change the preposition too. "For" should become "with" or similar.
