Hello,

I agreed that all bosses are not our mentor, guide or friend but on the other side I do agreed that there are boses who are really your mentor, guide, and they are very good friend aswell. Its depends upon person to person, its depend upon there individality. In most of the cases we are much more capable than our bosses but still boss is boss. There are cases where you find that some people are not successful in some of there jobs just because there boss is not good. I am working with HR dep of an Insurance co. where I find there lots of cases where people quit there job just because they were not comfortable with there boss.But on the other side of picture we have bosses who do not let the people go from there team any how wheather they are performing or not, but yes ofcourse ratio is low its 1:10 ratio. So its depend upon your luck what kind of boss you are getting. But still I'll say your capability and ability aswell as learinig should not be dependent on your boss. Make them realise time to time that you are capable enough to learn through other channels aswell.
