Leo Boss -- The Sun in the Corner Office
You work for a Leo boss. And you have probably noticed they take credit publicly and give credit privately -- or the reverse, depending on the Leo. Here is the thing about Sun-ruled managers. They are naturally authoritative, genuinely generous, and completely dependent on feeling admired by their team. The Leo boss at their best is the most inspiring leader you will ever work for. At their worst, they are the most ego-driven.

Management Style
Visionary, generous, and performance-oriented. The Leo boss leads through inspiration rather than instruction. They paint the big picture and expect the team to be motivated by the vision.
What They Value
Loyalty, enthusiasm, and people who make them look good. The Leo boss promotes the team member who delivers excellent results AND celebrates the boss's vision publicly.
What Drives Them Crazy
Disloyalty, public disagreement, and anyone who outshines them without acknowledging their role. The Sun does not share the sky willingly.
How to Thrive
Make the boss look good -- genuinely. Deliver excellent work and credit the boss's leadership. Be enthusiastic about the vision. When disagreeing, do it privately and with respect for the ego.

No. The Sun delegates and expects excellence. Micromanagement feels beneath the Leo boss. They trust -- until trust is broken.
