I believe that every boss has a combination of these characteristics; the various degrees in which these characteristics manifest in his/her behavior makes him/her good or bad. The ultimate test for how one feels about the boss, as you mention is to ask oneself, "If I had my own company, would I hire or fire him". Fundamentally, as you detail, a good boss is somebody that is genuinely interested in the supervisee's goals, aspirations and professional development. As I explained in my blog article, our relationships with our bosses are circular relationships: if we like our bosses, our bosses like us; if our bosses like us, we like them. A good boss understands this aspect and builds a strong relationship with the supervisee. http://www.rightattitudes.com/2006/08/10/do-you-like-your-boss-four-key-principles-for-an-excellent-relationship-with-your-boss/ Sorry, URL is long.
