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 real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way.

- Henry Miller

The executive exists to make sensible exceptions to general rules.

The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds.

- Casey Stengel

A Boss A Leader
Drives employees Coaches employees
Depends on authority Depends on goodwill
Inspires fear Generates enthusiasm
Says "I" Says "we"
Places blame for breakdown Fixes the breakdown
Knows how it's done Shows how it's done
Uses people Develops people
Takes credit Gives credit
Commands Asks
Says "Go" Says "Let's go"
