Mr. Lee and Mr. Lim were my bosses, but they had different characters. Mr. Lee was time at the office on time everyday. As soon as he entered his room, he always had a ginseng tea. He thought his health was the most important in the world. When he contacted with someone by phone, his secretary did it. When his staff made some problems, he scolded his staff for doing it in public. This was a disgrace to his staff.
On the other hand Mr. Lim arrived at the office 30 minutes earlier. He called on the phone by himself without asking for his secretary. Every morning, he drank a coffee. When having some problems with his staff, he rebuked his staff for his carelessness in a private room not in public. They, however, did have one thing in common: both were kind and mild hearted people to their staff.

Lately, I have thought a lot about people's character. Especially if you are a boss, it is important to act as a model for others. It is human nature to want to be comforted by the leadership of another person. This confidence comes by example. It sounds like each of your bosses were realy comfortable with who they were and how to win over people.
Sometimes it's too difficult to keep neutral mind to everyone. Your article remind me of my working days, and get me to think about my past years.
