2. 10 Differences Between a Boss and
a Leader
Leadership cannot be demanded –
only earned and deserved.
• The boss drives people; the leader
coaches them.
• The boss depends upon authority;
the leader on good will.
• The boss inspires fear; the leader
inspires enthusiasm.
• The boss says ‘I’; the leader says ‘we.’
• The boss says ‘Get here on time’;
the leader gets there ahead of time.

the leader shows how.
• The boss makes work a drudgery;
the leader makes work a game.
• The boss says ‘Go’; the
leader says ‘Let’s go.’”

7. Tell their
employees what
they want done
and how they
want it
accomplished,
without getting
the advice of
their followers.
An authority
undertakes to
supply needs
or regulate
conduct of
those under
its control
Includes one
or more
employees
in the decision
making process
but maintains
the final
decision
making
authority.
Allows the
employees
to function
on their own
without
extensive direct
supervision,
themselves
based upon
accomplishments
Allows the
employees
to make
the decisions.
However,
the leader is
still responsible
for the decisions
that are made.

8. What Leadership Style is this?
Alexander the Great, the Greek king, once led
his troops across a hot, arid desert. After
nearly two weeks of marching, he and his
soldiers were near death from thirst, yet
Alexander pushed ahead.
In the noonday sun, two of his scouts brought
what little water they were able to find. It
barely filled a cup. Alexander's troops were
shocked when he poured the water into the
burning sand.
The king said, "It is of no use for one to drink
when many thirst."
