No is probably the correct answer. However you could argue that the opening monologue of the pilot set the stage for a realistic look at Cosa Nostra in its death throes. Tony owned up to this reality very blatantly in his first session with Melfi. So you could make the argument that with this in mind his entire subsequent motivation was to use his standing in this dying buisness to cash in on every principle the old guard ever held dear to selfishly feed his own appetites as the ship rapidly and inevitably sank beneath the tide. As any good crook would have done in such a situation. Tony had the makeup of a good boss. Did he have the guts? Debatable. But if you think he didn't, tell me, who on that fictional universe did? Tony was the king of that burning jungle hands down. So to me he was a good boss.

High IQ post.
He also had to deal with some singularly difficult and troublemaking people like Junior, Phil, Ralph, Johnny Sack, etc.
Elijah Fisher
He was awful he had killed so many of his own guys by the end that there was barely anyone to fight for him in the mob war.
