J. Edgar Hoover is often considered a "boss" due to his long tenure and significant influence as the first Director of the FBI, a position he held from 1935 until his death in 1972. He played a key role in shaping modern law enforcement and intelligence practices, establishing the FBI as a powerful federal agency. Hoover's leadership style was marked by a strong focus on discipline, efficiency, and a controversial use of surveillance and intelligence-gathering techniques, which allowed him to maintain control over the bureau and exert considerable political influence. His legacy remains complex, as he is both credited with modernizing the FBI and criticized for his authoritarian methods and abuses of power.
