Respected? Feared? Hated? Loved?

Here is a quote from an article on INC.com called, How to Keep Your Workers Happy:
Many people actually say cleaning the house is more enjoyable than sitting in the same room with their boss.
Of course, the feared/hated boss has NO awareness to know or feel this. Respected and loved managers? They actually want to do well by their team and want to do a good job in their role.
My experience so far: there are too many jerks, assholes and unaware managers than anyone wants to admit. I look forward to Robert Sutton’s latest book, Good Boss-Bad Boss: How to be the Best.. and learn from the worst. His other book, the No-Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving one that isn’t was awesome.
