Well we all know to some degree what makes a bad boss/leader and that has been a key part of the previous 3 parts of the toxic management series.
But what make a good boss ? And not just an OK boss?
And I am sure we all have our own ideas please suggest them in the comments.
One point I will make before jumping in this is to some degree the answer will depend on two factors are you the company owner or an employee.

Some things that may seem good can in-fact be bad E.g. a disinterested manager who just lets every one do what they want. Is in-fact a toxic manager for reason previously mentioned in the other toxic management blog.
And this may seem nasty to say but they are your boss not your mate. A boss who is a mate to their staff may seem great and to some degree is but can be very dangerous.This could be that only 1 or 2 staff members fit this and it can lead to favouritism or every is but it will make it harder for them to separate things fro they are my mate and I go drink or the such likes with them and them the staff member when things go wrong.Result can include letting things slide. A good boss get on with their work force and so on.
They know the role your doing and can do it themselves when needed this is a key factor a good leader should not ask staff to do things they can't or will not do themselves lead by example. Possible muck in when they have nothing to do if nothing else staff will be more inclined to trust them.
Will pressure can get things done helping it on can lead to stress been able to be a task master and crack the whip not all the time but only when really needed. Again the time scale is tight the staff will struggle to get it done I will lend a hand not sit their watching them struggle is a good attitude for a good leader.

But even a good leader will have flaws and limits know them as a leader and where needed ask for help it not a bad thing.
Who would you say is the best role model for leaders to aspire to be like?
