Just because you are the boss…

Just because you’re the boss, doesn’t mean you are a leader.

While the two terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing.

So what sets a leader apart from a boss?

Bosses focus on:

▪️ short-term goals and directives
▪️ getting results, without taking into account the feelings and needs of their team
▪️ maintaining the status quo, without recognizing the need for ongoing learning and development

Leaders focus on:

▪️ the vision of where they want to go and why they want to get there
▪️ strong emotional intelligence, which enables them to understand and empathize with their team
▪️ personal development and growth, both for themselves and for their team

Lead by example.

And earn the trust and respect of your team to truly lead.

You can be the leader you want to be.
