My boss is a VP, and easily the best boss I've ever had the pleasure of working for.
I, myself, have a team of 86 people, and likewise I'm the best boss many people on my team have ever had. I guess it sort of goes with the territory - we all thoroughly enjoy what we do for a living (making video games).
As to slacking, I manage/produce several large development projects. As long as the people on my team meet their deadlines and integrate/cooperate well with each other through *collaborative* work habits, I'm extremely hands off. I give the managers on my team a tremendous amount of bandwidth and freedom to make decisions and lead their respective groups, and for that they are truly appreciative, and this also manifests itself in a very positive way to their people. Leadership by example.
At the present time, I can honestly say I've never had a finer team of people working with me. It's an amazing thing when you actually get up in the morning and look forward to getting into work!
Absolutely the best way to manage people, man. Kudos to you.
