What do you think of your company president?

I can hardly sum up his characteristics in a few words.
He often shows two contradictory sides of his personality. While he adheres to be polite with employees facing whatever difficulties, he sometimes easily loses his temper and scolds them. Most employees working with him tend to shrink in front of him.

1. We use the present simple tense for something that is generally true or permanent, habits and facts. We use the present continuous for something that is happening now or around the time of speaking, or that is temporary.
I see. I can understand what you mean. How do you deal with your boss when he has that kind of episode? What is something that you like the most about your boss? Can you say that he is a good role model?

My boss is the person of our company president.
I always pay attention not to make him angry in the conversation with him.
Basically, he is a polite and modest businessperson when he can control his emotions.
In my understanding, most executives have a special character that can cope with pressure from stakeholders. We should not see them to be equal to general employees.

1. You don't need to explain the a boss is a person.
2. We use ‘the’ when there is only one of something or when we are referring to a particular thing. (E.g. “I looked at the Moon. I used the Internet. The report was difficult to read on the small screen.”)
I understand. When does he scold his subordinates? Do you think that he could take a different approach in such situations?

We see he is a perfectionist, so it seems whenever problems offending his concerns occur, he gets angry, but the criteria he has is not shared with us. We have to study it in working with him.
He likes diligent and hard-working employees, so we are required to be under his management.

1. You need to explain WHAT this refers to.
