A boss needs to be open to new ideas and accept his employees as a part of his learning curve.  Most bosses miss out on the fact ha they have been assigned the job to guide, develop and help the people under him and thus he already has a firmer stance over them. Bosses also tend to get protective about how they want their employees to look at them and their image, a thing that should be ignored.
