What do you guys think about the following situation:
A Person has a Department and a Department has a boss that is a
Person.
Can I make a mutual relationship like this?
[has a]
Person --------------------> Department
[Boss]
Department --------------> Person
What do you guys recommend?
Best regards

Yes, you can. But to really model the real world, you should be
prepared to allow a person to have more than one department, and to
allow a department to have more than one boss.

Find an example that works in practice and copy it rather than
re-inventing the wheel. When adapting the other model, try to find it's
weaknesses and fix those problems. It's not simple or easy.
