7 reasons I'd want this 'Game of Thrones' character to be my real-life boss

Last week, we broke down the best and worst leaders in "Game of Thrones." 

Now let's talk about who you'd actually want to work for if you were somehow magically transported into the show. 

The answer for me is obvious: Lady Lyanna Mormont of Bear Island. 

Here's why, out of all the characters in Westeros and Essos, Lady Mormont is an ideal boss. 

Warning: "Game of Thrones" spoilers ahead.

She's not 'nice'

Come on, this is "Game of Thrones."It's an understatement to say that being nice usually doesn't get you very far.

Lyanna, despite being an adorable 10-year-old, is not "sweet." She doesn't sugarcoat. She demands answers. She calls people out on their nonsense. 

Having a nice boss is overrated, especially in a cutthroat world like the North. You want someone who's going to look out for your best interests and get stuff done. 

She gets the facts right

During her negotiation session with Davos and the Starks, Lyanna isn't afraid to ask questions. She cross-examines her guests and relies on her maester for additional information. Good leaders make sure they're well-informed before making a major decision, like revolting against the evil Warden of the North.  

She's always looking out for her team

When Lyanna's interrogating Sansa and Jon in "The Broken Man," her priorities become clear.

She's first and foremost looking out for her own people. She's not going to sacrifice her army on some fool's errand for every displaced Stark with a sob story.

Before she signs on for anything, she wants to make sure that the venture will be worthwhile for Bear Island. She's got the best interests of her soldiers — all 62 of them — in mind.
