Ever wondered what sets a Boss apart from a Leader? Let’s break it down in simpler terms.

Focus  

Boss

A boss is all about authority, dictating orders like the men of military.

Leader

A leader focuses on influencing, inspiring, educating and guiding their team.

Task Assignment

Boss

A typical Boss can and will spontaneously assign tasks without much explanation.

Leader

A true leader, on the other hand, sets clear directions and goals, making sure everyone is on the same page.

Control

Boss

Bosses love to control and micromanage every move of the employees.

Leader

Whereas, a Leader prefers collaboration among employees and trusting their team to shine.

Blame Game

Boss

When things go wrong, a typical boss will often point fingers and find faults.

Leader

A leader, however, takes responsibility, understands the failure and helps rectify any issues.

Status Quo

Bosses stick to their status quo and ego and may not adjust to change.

Leader

A true Leader will embrace innovation, encourage new ideas and creativity, and adapt to new trends.

So next time, you are at work, ask yourself: are you dealing with a Boss or a Leader? And if it’s the latter, consider yourself lucky!
