What's the Difference between a Boss and a Leader?

A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting.

- Russell H. Ewing

The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss.

The executive exists to make sensible exceptions to general rules.
