Hi George!
In my opinion, Bosses are not ONLY BOSSES! they are our mentor, leader, teacher, guide for our carrier. We learned and enrich ourselves with the knowledge of our boss.
But at the end they are our Boss and they need to ensure that their subordinates are productive and accompalishing the task alocated to them.
Hence i would say, Bosses are bosses and also friend, mentor & Guide; BUT THEY ARE BOSS!

Hi George,
Its very nice topic for discuss abt the bosses.....No way all the bosses are bosses there are some bosses who be a friendly and good guider also and we can learn lots of managerial skills..
Some bosses are really show their power cos the position like that.......
I've crossed many bosses in my careers...Not all are same.....Some internal / departmantal probs they showed their anger n ego's to their executives....
SO SOME BOSSES ARE BOSSES AND SOME ARE FRIENDLY AND GUIDER....

Hi,
During our course of professional life, we have come across different types of bosses. These bosses are of different attitudes, approaches, ideals and way of working. Many a times boss wants to boss only and will not become a good guide or a friends. The reason is very simple - It is fear! Fear of overtaking by his subordiate.
But the other category of bosses who actually become good guide, wellwisher, friend and a mentor. These are not only bossess, they are leaders also. But for a person to qualify to get these from his boss, he should be honest, hardworking with zeal to learn, punctual and have some vision in his life to come up and gratitude. What a Boss will do if the person is a Dead Horse!? If you have interest to learn, achieve the goals of the company, ready to work hard, use your brains then no boss will be just your boss he will be everything for you!! It is for the simple reason that anything and everything can not be done by boss himself and he needs a supporting hand. In gratitude, he will become your friend, philosopher and guide.

Recently, many reports reveal that the relationship between the boss and staff is not good. They seldom talk to one another. Most of the staff say that their bosses are bad tempered and their boss always scold them without reasons. Thus, they are unwilling to communicate with their boss. How can the situation be improved? The boss should improve themselves and to have a good quality. In this posting, I am going to state three qualities that are important for being a good boss.
A good boss should have good-mannered. When the staff have done something wrong, the boss should not scold them at once. He/she should give their staff chances to improve. If the staff still doesn’t improve it, he/she may give them some warnings, rather than scolding them. Sometimes, scolding them would have an adverse effect. They will be very angry and won’t follow your instructions later. Besides, if the staff are late to the office, the boss should listen to their explanations. Sometimes, there may be a traffic accident and will cause serious traffic congestion.
Moreover, the boss should be considerate. He/she should not always ask the staff to work overtime. The staff are already very tired after a long day of work and they don’t have much energy to work for extra hours. If they still continue to work, they can’t easily concentrate and the work efficiency is much lowered. They may also make many mistakes while they are working. The boss should not always ask them to go back to the office when they are having holidays as they have to restore their energy after working for a whole week. In addition, if the staff have to work on some kind of projects, the boss should not force them to finish them in a short period of time. He/she should give sufficient time to them to work on it, otherwise the staff may finish the projects .
Apart from being considerate, the boss should be fair to all staff. He/she should not be partial to someone. It is very unfair to the other staff. They would be very angry and will not work for you wholeheartedly. The boss should equally allocated the work to each staff. The workload of each staff should not be too heavy. If there are not enough staffs in the office, the boss should ask more staff to help.
All in all, it is very important to be a good boss. The boss should communicate more with the staff and they will have better understanding between one another . If the boss is a good one, all the staff would respect him/her. They would be happier while working and a sense of belonging is also developed towards the office.

Hi Machael
I would rather differ from your view bcoz most of the bosses are real friends
they may be harsh with you to get things done
but most of the time they protect you from the wrath of the higher ups taking the blame on themselves (they dont have a choice), guide you and force you only when they feel that it can only be the way out

Hai,
We need to look at this in a bosses view too he can say that a subordinate is not a freind. There are bosses who understand that they learn from sub ordinates. As per the above discussion all bosses cannot be a frnd or guide but some bosses are, it also depends on how the subordinate uses this relationship. You can be a frnd at a personal level and be professional when it comes to work at both at the same time
