At the extreme end of the "boundaries between leaders and the team" is the military. For example, if you are the commander and you have a child, it's against the rules for one of your children to date the child of one of your subordinates. The thought is that if you let that happen, it's possible that favoritism or at a minimum clouded judgement might come into play. Specifically, this is for times where you have to send troops into combat and you should be picking the best troops for the mission regardless of other factors. Now, I agree with many other people here that you can have a good relationship with your team members so the above is merely showing the extreme.

> against the rules for one of your children to date the child of one of your subordinates [citation needed] Neither your children, nor your subordinate's children are in the military, so the military's authority over either is very limited, almost entirely limited to what they can do on base. There's even a trope about a young troop unknowingly ending up dating his base commander's daughter, and only finding out when he shows up for dinner at her father's house. And nothing happens to them. There are rules about who can date who, but it's only for military members, and amounts to: officer can't date enlisted, and you can't date people in your chain of command.
