Thinking back of all the bosses I've had over my career, they are, in order:

1. Male -- not bad, but mildly dishonest.
   
2. Female -- nice, competent but smoked like a chimney.
   
3. Female -- mediocre.
   
4. Self.
   
5. Male -- jerk.
   
6. Male -- One of my best, decent to the core.
   
7. Male -- Jeykyll & Hyde at first, but became a lifelong friend.
   
8. Male -- Great.
   
9. Male -- One of my best.
   
10. Male -- Mediocre but meant well.
    
11. Male -- Jerk, one of my worst.
    
12. Male -- Decent but new to the job.
    
13. Male -- Very good but not great.
    
14. Male --Worst ever, liar, thief and ingrate but skilled at corporate politics.
    
15. Self.
    
16. Female --One of my best, not on location most of the time, but logical thinker who EARNS respect.
