I’m in mourning. Funny as this may sound I’m in a deep funk because my boss resigned. I don’t see him often - we speak monthly. He’s in Hong Kong and I’m in Sydney. I’ve seen him a grand total of four times. Yet he’s smart enough to leave me alone yet available when I need him.

Am I missing the man (even though he’s tendered his resignation and has yet to leave - that’ll be months from now)? Or am I disappointed by the mere fact there’s change coming?

I’ve had more loser bosses than most people had suits. The micro-manager. The tyrant. The absentee. The control freak. The ambivalent. The unclear. The meanie. The head-tripper. They start to take their toll.

So a request: Define for me the perfect boss. Give me examples - of the good. And what makes the worst boss the worst? Let’s not name names - but profile real jerks.

A good laugh or an inspiration may help the mourning process.
