Title says it all. Does anyone have any bosses you worked for where you felt they were the epitome of epic leadership?

Someone once came into my department's office and started chewing me out for not getting a task done on time. My boss literally stepped in between me and the other person and told them, "we'll do our due diligence and get back to you," and then insisted they leave the office.

He and I then checked, and I had completed the task both correctly and on time. Someone else in a different department dropped the ball.

My boss then went to the office of the person who had yelled at me and gave them what-for.
