The helicopter leader, manager or supervisor is one who is continually interfering with their direct reports, when not asked - constantly checking in, suggesting, fixing, educating, advising, improving, one-upping, interrogating, explaining, and otherwise "bothering" folks, when folks are not asking them for help or support.
Helicopter bosses often have some psycho-social-emotional need that prevents them from leaving others alone. Often this need in rooted in some sense of insecurity, or in a need for control and power, or a need for perfection, or even a need to be needed (i.e, seen, heard, acknowledged, appreciated, or loved). Interfering and bothering others is how they assuage one or more of these needs.

Get the Boscobel mug.The act of performing cunnilingus on a girl by pulling the female's vaginal lips apart, then shaking your head violently and fully relaxing your cheeks and lips. Also, a sound effect like you are really going to town and getting dirty with this girl's vagina is welcome, and is almost 100% necessary for the woman's full satisfaction. Any saliva that falls out of your mouth while doing so is just added lubrication. Based from the character Boss Nass in Star Wars.
