sabotauers, micromanagers, and other management types

A few months ago, I got together with several long term friends who are all professionals. We've known each other for a very long time. Some of us worked together at one point; others never. At some point in the conversation, our discussion turned to work. Someone asked, "what is the worst boss you've ever had [no names] and why?" "Who is the best and why?"


For the sake of the group (who know who they are), I agreed to write up our thoughts. I haven't worked for all of these types but I thought it was a fascinating discussion to hear real stories about some of the dreaded supervisor types.
