If you’re an entrepreneur,
has your business
reached a certain size
and stopped growing?
If you’re a corporate gal,
have you stopped
climbing the corporate ladder?
One reason might be
because you’re thinking and acting
like a boss,
not a leader.
Barry Moltz
has written an excellent post
outlining the differences
between bosses and leaders.
“Bosses may consider themselves
to be an “expert in everything”
and may think of themselves
as the only person
able to deliver a solution
to the entire team.
A leader may facilitate brainstorming
and encourage their team
to ask smart questions.
They may be more inclined than a boss
to make a decision
based on discussions
they’ve had with their team.
A leader may say
what they think needs to be done,
but the team members may help decide
how it’s actually executed.”
Act like a leader, not a boss.
