The Micro Manager
This boss does not trust any of the staff. His (her) base belief is that none of the staff know what they are doing. The Micro Manager must watch his (her) staff's every move. This boss will rummage through his (her) staff's desk to find out information.
Trust in his (her) staff is practically non-existent. He (she) must know at all times what the staff is working on. If staff is on lunch or break then this boss keeps a strict eye on the clock and scolds his (her) staff for lateness as miniscule as a minute.
