A SuperTrope to MyBelovedMinions, for examples where the boss is a villain. Contrast with MeanBoss (impolite), BadBoss (downright cruel) and PointyHairedBoss (incompetent). Compare ReasonableAuthorityFigure, who may be sympathetic to others (including those that don't work for them), and the CluelessBoss, who means well, but is out of touch with his organization or too incompetent to run it properly. See also LadyAndKnight, where the knight is dedicated to the lady because of qualities such as benevolence. NiceToTheWaiter is related, but is about the relationship between customer and service provider, rather than employer and employee. See also PuttingThePalInPrincipal and HonestCorporateExecutive.

The Benevolent Boss is a superior who is actually superior, a kind person [[NiceToTheWaiter who actually listens and attempts to resolve employee problems and really cares about the issues of those beneath them]], going against the MeanBoss stereotype. If in a drama or dramedy, often will suffer from a [[SoapOperaDisease long-term illness]] or similar psychological malady, which might be presaged by a NotHimself episode where everyone wonders what the heck is going on. A character that is TheCaptain is [[TheGoodCaptain likely]], but not required, to be a Benevolent Boss.

* ''Literature/TerminateTheOtherWorld'': NSLICE-00P's minions quickly decide that she is the kindest, most generous person in the universe... because she is clear with her orders, protects them and tries to help them grow, and gives them names. Some of this is a result of miscommunications (she doesn't understand how important names are for monsters, and sees herself as nothing more than a field commander), but for the most part it's all just a result of treating them as valued assets instead of as ammunition to be expended.
