Summary/Abstract: This is a theoretical kind of an article with the main question – what does it mean to be “a good manager”, “good boss” or “good superior”? Managers, maybe specially executives, know that they have to find ways to engage followers and to rouse their commitment to company goals. Any of the qualities of managers (leaders, executives) cannot be used separately and mechanically, they must become or must be the part of an executive’s personality. Managers ought to be themselves, but better than others; they ought to be aware of their advantages and their weakness, too. The article is about the competence of leadership in a view of the challenges posed to managers. The intention of an author is to contribute to the discussion about education and development of managerial staff and an attempt to approximate the dilemmas faced now or in the near future by both managers of companies representing the global markets as well as managers of local companies who still want to be “good bosses”.
