  Yeah, it's damn near impossible to work for (or with!) people you don't like. I have limited life experience, but what I've learned definitely fits with #1.

    Indeed. I've had managers that I liked and I pulled all-nighters for them (when I was younger) because they seemed to take a genuine interest in their employees. And I've had managers that seemed to have little interest in their employees other than as means to an end - those managers are tough to like and usually don't get nearly as much good work out of their people.

      Yeah. At my first summer job, I would routinely stay at the office after my boss left just to work on the product, because I believed in it, and because he supported me, and because I admired and respected him. When I returned to work for the guy the next summer, his company had evolved/expanded and I got a lot less "face time". I was pretty much working under a COO, who believed in telling me "keep plugging away" as his version of moral support (I couldn't do more important work because I was simply "too young and inexperienced"). Anyway, I hated that second job, and I came into work late/left early whenever possible... I'll never work in a situation like that ever again.
