I wouldn't consider myself in the workforce yet, so my expertise
is limited. I just work as a lifeguard to support myself through university, but I've had experience in a lot of different job settings: outdoors with kids, indoors standard formal, etc.
I think that's a really good list redravin, but I think rogue pointed out the most important quality in a boss.
Quote:
The best bosses just leave me alone,
I do very well at being proactive and keeping on top of things.
And I seem to do it more efficiently and better than my peers.
The only thing I really need assistance on is getting an overview perspective (things I wouldn't know about),
getting approval for things, and dealing with the politics that sometimes pops up.
(I wish I was good at that one)

I think a good boss finds out what each of his workers needs from him. By doing this, you accomplish a lot of your goals as a boss immediately. You're showing your workers that you do respect them, and that they aren't working for you, you're working together. Rogue doesn't need a boss to keep on him about deadlines, he does that fine himself. He needs a boss to deal with any administration or politics that come up so that he can keep working hard to meat the deadlines. Another worker with the same job will have different needs from the same boss. A good boss doesn't treat all of his employees the same. He gets to know them and their needs, and does his best to support and represent them the best that he can, within sanity.
