Leader VS Boss: Change Starts From Within
The distinction between a 'leader' and a 'boss' is more than a title. The difference lies in approaches to management and team guidance, which fundamentally results in the company's success.
Difference between a Leader and a Boss
1. Vision VS Command
Leaders inspire talent with a shared, clear vision when bosses dictate through commands.
2. Adaptability
A leader is adaptable to the talent’s feedback and proactive suggestions, while a boss often rigidly sticks to their set plan.
3. Empowerment VS Authority
Leaders set a thriving culture of openness, where every talent/crew member belongs, creating more meaningful relationships with work. Bosses lean on authority, often leading to a decline in productivity and creativity.
4. Growth Mindset
Leadership means recognising that a company’s success lies in the collective development. Thus, leaders invest in talent’s skills and potential.
5. Trust
Leaders set a culture of trust, where talent knows that management is honest and supportive. Bosses set a culture of control, often creating a distrustful environment, leading to a decline in talent’s mental health.
