The Nice Boss: A nice boss is one that is honest, open, and values you, when people feel valued they will follow your leadership. Many dont come to work because the paycheck is great, but because they like to work for a boss who treats them with respect and values their opinions and work. One question always nags at us is: Are bad bosses that way because they're bad people or are they basically good people who have been psychologically changed by the addition of authority? In other words, are bad bosses born or are they made? Is it true that "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely"?
