A BOSS AND A LEADER: WHAT DEFINES THEIR BEING?

A Boss and A Leaders: what defines their Being?

Not everybody merit the appellation leader. It is however true that everybody can be regarded as boss. Leadership is a quality that is exemplary and something which is lacking in today's 'leaders'.

I saw a quote on Instagram by @foundr stating the difference between boss and leaders. Boss says go but a leader says let's go. Having looked deeply, I noticed some people who actually call themselves leaders hardly have the fundamental characteristics of a good leaders.

A leader is someone who leads or guides a group, organization or country. A boss is someone who is in charge of a worker or organization. The head of a company.source

THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A LEADER AND A BOSS.

There are notable differences between a leader and a boss. This is seen by virtue of how they relate with their subjects.

A leader is someone who listens to its subject, sits tight for his subjects to settle on a choice before he can counter it or acknowledge it.

A leader is someone who has a forgiving spirit, who curates a post without looking down at whose post is being curated.

A leader cares for the community and thinks of other communities at large. A leader is constantly respected by the majority for his exemplary characters.

On the other hand, a boss can be dreaded yet never respected. A boss is always authoritative, he doesn't care about his subjects, and he is always after his own self.

A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions.source

Take a look at this scenario: Mr A is the boss and the proprietor of the organization, each time he goes to the workplace the staff put on a show to act over passionate, they pretend and at the end not having the capacity to satisfy the boss. The boss barely know which of the staff is the most dedicated and ought to be encouraged yet could just give attention to the most laziest individual.

A leader could be the manager of the said company! Mr B Who listens to his staff (those under him) focuses on subtle elements, empowers the individuals who work hard and he is very much regarded.

A leader makes the environment more conducive for his workers that even on their sick bed they would love to go to work.

Whether we like it or not, we influence people by what we do. Our influences on others might not be a direct one but it is important we are conscious and cautious of what we do because posterity will always judge. We need to be compassionate about fellow human and understand that it pays to be humane.

The question now is: are you a leader? Do you impose things on your subjects or do you listen to their plight? Do you shove your boss-ship down their throats?

I would love to know.
