As a Manager, Are You a Boss or a Leader

As a manager you can act as a leader or you can act as a boss.
A leader has followers who follow him voluntarily. A leader understands what the follower wants, and creates a joint project where the needs and wants of the followers are fulfilled.

A boss has subordinates and feels he is there to provide punishment or reward.

Some differences in assumptions of a boss and a leader

1. A boss thinks he knows it all; a leader is always learning.

2. A boss is ready to give answers; a leader seeks solutions.

3. A boss talks more than listens; a leader listens more than talks.

4. A boss criticizes and blames; a leader encourages.

5. A boss is all about "me;" a leader is all about "we."
