This is the exact opposite of my boss.

* Sending random IMs to the entire team throughout the day about funny stuff he finds on the Internet "to maintain team cohesion."

* Regularly interrupting individual team members and asking them about their projects "to make sure things are getting done and nothing is falling through the cracks."

* Nitpicking on small, often inconsequential details as a way of giving "constructive feedback" while insisting that everyone should be able to think "big picture."

* Occasionally saying racist/sexist stuff in weekly meetings "as a joke"

* Claiming that there is nothing wrong with asking an interviewee about their personal life because "culture fit is an extremely important part of the hiring process."

* Dismissing complicated front-end customizations as "just scripting" and insisting that "real programming" is done by our software developers (most of whom are fresh out of college).

Ah, sorry. That quickly turned into a rant...
