‘The Difference Between a Boss and a Leader’

The boss drives his workers; the leader coaches them.

The boss depends upon authority; the leader on goodwill.

The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.

The boss says “I”; the leader says, “we.”

The boss fixes the blame; the leader fixes the problem.

The boss knows how it’s done; the leader shows how.

The boss says “go”; the leader says, “let’s go.”
