Hi George!
In my opinion, bosses are not only bosses; they are our mentors, leaders, teachers, and guides for our careers. We learn and enrich ourselves with the knowledge of our boss. At the end of the day, they are our boss, and they need to ensure that their subordinates are productive and accomplishing the tasks allocated to them.
Hence, I would say bosses are bosses and also friends, mentors, and guides; but they are still the boss!

Hi George,
It's a very nice topic to discuss about bosses. Not all bosses are the same; some can be friendly and good guides, from whom we can learn a lot of managerial skills. However, some bosses tend to show their power due to their position. I have encountered many bosses in my career, and each one has been different. Some bosses let internal or departmental problems affect their behavior, leading to displays of anger and ego towards their executives.
Therefore, it's clear that there are bosses who strictly adhere to their authoritative roles, while others take on a more friendly and guiding approach.

Hi,
During our course of professional life, we have come across different types of bosses. These bosses have different attitudes, approaches, ideals, and ways of working. Many times, a boss wants to boss only and will not become a good guide or a friend. The reason is very simple - it is fear! Fear of being overtaken by his subordinate.
On the other hand, there is another category of bosses who actually become good guides, well-wishers, friends, and mentors. These individuals are not just bosses; they are leaders as well. For a person to qualify to receive these qualities from his boss, he should be honest, hardworking with a zeal to learn, punctual, have some vision in his life to progress, and show gratitude.
What will a boss do if the person is a Dead Horse? If you have an interest in learning, achieving the company's goals, are ready to work hard, and use your brain, then no boss will be just your boss; he will be everything for you! This is because not everything can be done by the boss alone, and he needs a supporting hand. In gratitude, he will become your friend, philosopher, and guide.

Hi George,
I don't agree with you. I have had the most amazing bosses from whom I have learned, and what I am today is a credit to them. They have been good guides, mentors, and friends. I have learned a lot from them.
Thanks to my bosses!
Cheers,

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 Michael,
I would rather differ from your view because most 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 by taking the blame on themselves (they don't have a choice). They guide you and only force you when they feel it's the only way out.

Hi,
We need to look at this from a boss's view too. He can say that a subordinate is not a friend. There are bosses who understand that they can learn from subordinates. As per the above discussion, all bosses cannot be a friend or guide, but some bosses are. It also depends on how the subordinate uses this relationship. You can be a friend at a personal level and be professional when it comes to work, both at the same time.
