overboss
Boss above bosses
An overboss is a boss of bosses—someone who commands authority over other leaders or managers.
The term appears in organized crime contexts for a figure who controls multiple crime families or operations, and in video games for a particularly powerful enemy that commands lesser bosses: The overboss controls all the gangs in the region.
