He will want you to knock the door before coming in, ask security guards to salute him, will make the people wait to see him and loves to be addressed as "Sir". Chances are high he is nearing his retirement and taking out his frustration on employees.

He is in his own world, maybe because of lack of skills or due to lack of interest in the work. He will hardly poke you or assign work. He is a firm believer of the fact that the work will be done by someone and there is absolutely no need to panic. He doesn't know about half of the work which is to be done and does not take interest on the other half of the work.
How to deal with "I Don't Care Boss" - 1) Let it be. He cant and wont do anything.

He is sharp and probably in his mid 30s to late 40s. He wants to grow in the organization but the problem is he doesnt have the business acumen and expertise, thus he relies on his team. He will change the "Prepared by" section of your presentations and documents and present to the top bosses only by himself to show them how good and indispensible he is.
How to deal with "Smart Ass Boss" - 1) Only smartness can kill smartness. Show him you are not easy to fool.

He is best among the lot. He has great skills and possess desirable experience. He knows the business can only grow if employees are happy. He will keep doors open for communication, maintain apt distance from the employees and gets the work done the way it should be done.
How to deal with the "Boss" - 1) Only your work can impress him. Avoid boasting or appeasing him by things other than work.
