    This is true. Your job as a “boss” should not be to command and control but rather to remove obstacles preventing your workers from doing their jobs effectively.

    A good boss trusts their employees to do their work, but is comfortable working with them if there is an issue with their performance.

      Exactly this. I like my manager, but they busy themselves with their own job and making sure I’m not going to quit. If they had time to look over my shoulder, I would question their utility to the company.
