I don't want to be one of those bosses... taking credit for phenomena that are out of my control.
The biggest boss has the clearest desk.
I think the policy makers like the idea of being the boss. I mean people who like to boss other people around like to go into politics so they can become the boss.
If you do a job where someone tells you exactly what to do, they will find someone cheaper than you to do it. And yet our schools are churning out kids who are stuck looking for jobs where the boss tells them exactly what to do.
I don't like to power trip, but when you're a boss you have to fight for certain things.
I think it's hard, when you're someone who likes to please people, as I am, to be a boss. I had to learn how to rein myself in and not terrify people.
I think great bosses hire great people. 'A' people hire 'A' people, but 'B' people hire 'C' people; they're worried they might be shown up... they're concerned that that person might make them look bad.
I think I could totally be a gangster, but I could never be the kind of gangster that carries things out myself. I would have to be the kingpin that has my minions go and do the dirty bidding. I think I'd be pretty good at giving orders.
The U. S. is not the Boss, not the Boss any longer.
My wife usually gives me a project... I like going to work because I can be the boss for once.
some bosses are so greedy (for themselves only) they forget underlings are not thirteenth-century peasants who can be satisfied with a glass of mead and three festivals a year.
I call this 'boss Obamacare.' The only health care that citizens of this country can access are those approved by the boss.
When I think about what sort of person I would most like to have on a retainer, I think it would be a boss. A boss who could tell me what to do, because that makes everything easy when you're working.
I got a boss mentality.
I never was taught how to go into a meeting and talk about a tour and how to plan a show, but seeing that side of things [about] someone who wants to be a Unicorn but has to now be a boss and navigate this is a really powerful and interesting story.
