Self Improvement Tip of the Day: The Difference Between A Boss And A Leader

Self Improvement Tip of the Day: The Difference Between A Boss And A Leader

What exactly is leadership? To be a leader, you must be able to influence other people to achieve an objective. A leader is someone who can organise a team or group of people and motivate them to work towards a common goal.

One definition of leadership is "the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members"

Some people think that leadership is about power, or about driving or forcing people to do something that you want them to do, whether they want to do it or not. This is what a boss does, but not what a leader does.

This is the main difference between a boss and a leader. A good boss will always focus on getting results through leading and inspiring people rather than driving or forcing people through fear or orders. A good boss is a leader. A bad boss is just a boss.
