Hello best A good boss is always part of the work team, he/she must be very friendly with all in office/works to extract full work, and utilize talent, this makes her/him popular too, and that should be the quality of a boss.. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Professor. .

The boss need to do a lot more things as his team . He needs to organise all the team, to give them something to work , to supervise them , to make sure that they have all they need, to make sure that they work safe and so on. But the boss can work with the team too when he haves some time, and this, will make the team to apreciate him, because he`s like a part of the team and the boss too , so the problem of comunication it`s solved and so, the team will be more efficient .

In order for any business and or company to be successful a boss must be part of his team. He must know all the ins and outs as this way he is able to deter any flaws before the company goes down the tubes. This is where many bosses think that they can start a business and kick back let his employees run the entire show, then later to find that his company is in the ground.

That depends .As far as i know ,the situations are different in different places.European bosses tend to be more easy-going than those in other continents.On one hand ,democracy is more popular there ,which has a influnce on firms .On the flip side ,human resource of Europe is relatively short ,which hold back harsh bosses .

In my opinion a boss is part of the team but the leader who supervises the work of others in the team and guides others in case of need.Though the word boss is used to indicate superiority ,in fact, he is not.But some assume superiority which is not only wrong but does not help him in the long run.Unless he treats himself equal to others the psychological barrior remains and the teams work will not progress smoothly. As a captain of a team in any game say cricket foot ball etc is first among equals so also the boss should be the first among the equals and then only he will be ideal and successful boss....

In my opion,if the BOSS wants to be a teammember indid, he/she must be a freind to all of other teammembers, it's too important. When I worked in other companies, some bosses caould be one of the teammembers, but someone cannot. Now, I have a company of my own, I will try my best to work with my teammembers.

The job of a manager is not just to delegate but to delegate responsibly. This means that a manager should know how each job is done, even if he could not do it nearly as efficiently as the people he delegates to do it. If a manager sets up a team, he is automatically part of that team and works WITH it. He may, of course, choose to give a team his complete trust (and almost complete autonomy and authority) BUT he is, nevertheless, responsible for his decisions to HIS superior (which may be the company as a whole, if he is the owner) and also responsible to the team he has chosen simply because he trusts them to do the job. Such bosses may seem to be very little involved with their team but, because they have vested such trust in the team, they are, in fact, the servant of the team. Some managers will set up a team and once they have set it up cannot seem to leave well alone but always try to over-rule and interfere with their team leaders. These are very often bad managers who never can trust their staff. If you happen to work for one of these, you would be well advised to look for another position. The best managers consider themselves full members of their teams and may often behave as 'junior members' in team meetings, recognising that their skills in the area cannot possibly match the competence of the people they have chosen to do the job. A good manager recognises the particular skills (and weaknesses) of his staff and also understands that HIS particular skill is to see the 'big picture' and to make sure that the operation maximises the skills of each of its individuals and supports and strengthens their weaknesses with the strengths of the other members of the organisation.

a great leader should have also been a great follower. the boss is also included in a team because he is the one handling the rest of his team. he might not be a team player but then it's the team that determines his real capabilities and success.
