He is (the) boss.

In which sentences is the article the used? And when can we drop the?
Is it possible to use the article a in some of these sentences?

1. He is (the) owner.
2. He is (the) boss.
3. He is (the) manager.
4. He is (the) President.
5. He is (the) chef (cook).

Thank you in advance.

I always see President used with "the" but as for the others I can tell you that "the" specifies the noun it precedes. However, others may not share my view.
