The best boss I ever had by a country mile was a woman. She always knew exactly what each of her subordinates were doing and if she gave you a job to do, she would tell you which current job to stop in order to do it. The sharpest mind in the RAF in my opinion, she could grasp an issue at a single pass. If you wrote something for her, she would understand it on the first reading and any amendment she suggested always made it better, I have seen her sit in a meeting, confronted by a budget spreadsheet and find the holes in it, doing the sums in her head, while the budgeteer was still talking, She was utterly fair and everyone I knew who worked for her was unswervingly loyal. She was also an FRAeS and CEng.
