very old school if he or she does...

Not at all, but I do see how it can be respectful if a boss was to come in first and leave last. It DOES play a factor (albeit not a major one) in leading a team.

Almost impossible these days with flex hours. We have some people starting at 5 a.m. And other people ending their day at 9 p.m. but who begin at noon.

I think the question is: how can a boss still make it known that they are the most committed person at the organization given the modern work environment is mobile and time shifts.

In order to "lead by example", a "boss" should manifest the best of practices. That may include commitment to others as evidenced by presence in the office. Being there first and last will only be effective if it is not done for superficial reasons.

If I arrive at the office after the "boss" only to find him/her napping, surfing the web or playing solitare, any meaningful purpose would be lost.

If your job is an integral part of your life as well as the people employed with you, there is no first and last. Complete your daily job goals and see who else you can help.

I think that would make employees feel uncomfortable. I vote bad.
