A leader and a boss

Hello guys. Welcome back to my blog.

Guys, you know what's up? We often mistake a boss for a leader and vice versa but my experience of 3 years working under six different people. I've observed certain things. That there is a difference between a boss and a leader. I've observed that:

• A boss demands, a leader requests.
• A boss orders, a leader inspires.
• A boss takes credit but a leader appluseds.
• A boss dictates, a leader motivates.
• A boss says "I", but a leader says "WE". A boss says "GO" but a leader says "LET'S GO".
• A boss tightens his speech while a leader is transparent.
• A boss makes decisions without input, while a leader involves his team.
• A boss focuses on tasks and productivity while a leader focuses on people and development.
• A boss authorizes, a leader empowers. A boss solves problems alone but a leader seeks ideas.
• A boss blames workers for a mistake, a leader takes responsibility for mistake.
• A boss controls, a leader delegates.
• A boss gives feedback but a leader coaches the mistakened.
• A boss Inspires fear but a leader builds trust and credibility.
• A boss operates on autocracy while a leader does more of democracy.
• A boss emphasizes on individual work while a leader foster's teamwork.
• A boss stifle's creativity while a leader encourages it.
• A boss avoids risk while a leader takes calculated risk.
• A boss resist changes while a Leaders adapt to changes,wether physical, structurally, or financially.
• A leader rewards team members while a boss might not.
• A leader shows empathy and understanding while a boss doesn't.
• A leader is humble and approachable while a boss is arrogant and disrespectful.
• A leader is open to learning while a boss acts all-knowing.
• A leader is flexible while a boss is rigid.

So I urge you to be a leader, who serves as a guide, a coach, an adviser, a counselor, a role and better still, a friend. And not a boss who is the opposite of all this.
