The opinion of the followers is taking a greater relevance in the management of organizations' leadership. Therefore, it was sought to contrast the perception of subordinates about whether they admire their boss as a leader against the opinion that the boss has in this regard. The sample consisted of 442 people, 221 pairs of bosses and subordinates, from 63 companies in Mexico, who gave their opinion on the actions of the bosses and their leadership. The results confirm that subordinates tend to admire their bosses as leaders only if the latter support their work and trust their abilities. However, some opinions of bosses about their leadership are not related to what their subordinates think. These findings highlight the importance of bosses asking their subordinates what they think so they can strengthen their leadership.

Keywords : Leadership; boss-leader relationship; leader-followers relationship; boss-subordinate relationship; managerial skills; transformational leadership; confidence; support; self-efficacy.
