No. I've never had a boss that was smarter than me, but I've had plenty that were more knowledgeable, experienced, or wiser. Don't think of bosses/managers as 'superiors', but as colleagues.

Never all three at once! There's always been a good reason they were my manager. But I never treat managers like they're the boss — always as an equal.
