If you’re like most people, you’ve probably had a variety of jobs over the years. And unless you were working for yourself (or if you own a company) that meant you had a boss.

Relationships with bosses come in every shape and size. If you’re lucky, you’ll have a friendly relationship with them and nothing more. It’s not necessary to be friends, but it’s always more pleasant if you get along.

Part of it boils down to that weird superior-inferior relationship. Yes, your boss is in charge of you. They have to find the balance and show their employees respect while also having authority. Some bosses aren’t very good at that. They’re either too permissive and get nothing done or they’re tyrannical and treat their workers like slaves.

Then there are the bosses who are the cream of the crop. They know that even though they’re in charge, they still need to work with their employees and be respectful. When you have a boss like that, it makes work so much more enjoyable. A good boss can literally turn a workplace around for the better. These 50 boss-employee relationships are #goals for workers everywhere. You might want to take notes.
