Don't think I've ever had the best boss in the world - some have been better than others but not sure there is such a thing.  After all, your boss is not your best friend but rather someone who manages your company or your team.  My current boss is ok - sometimes he will have a laugh and other times he is much more serious.  Hard to know when to have a lighthearted moment and when to look busy!

My ideal boss would be someone who can encourage me in my role, and who gets to know me over time.  I cannot stand a boss who listens to idle gossip and takes sides (have seen/heard it happen).  They should be treated with respect so it can be earned back.
