Title says it all. Does anyone have any bosses you worked for where you felt they were the epitome of epic leadership?

I'm a good boss. AMA.

I lead a team of about 20 designers and engineers at a custom equipment manufacturing company. I try to do my best to lead by example and not buy ruling with an iron fist. If an employee wants to come in late, that's fine. If they want to leave early, that's fine. As long as they're obviously not trying to abuse the system, who the hell cares? All I ask is that they let me know so I can have a valid reason to tell the owners of the company if anyone asks. As long as projects are getting done on time and under budget and not fucked up when they are ready, everything else is just secondary.
