Wow - everyone has contributed just about everything I was already thinking. Not much to add, except... a good boss does not play the "blame game" when an error happens. A good boss quietly points out that a mistake was made, asks that it be fixed, and then lets it go. A good boss does not loudly and repeatedly exclaim over the error and question why and how it happened.
