A Leader Vs A Boss

Please don't be a boss.

A Leader Vs A Boss

I have a job that allows me to manage a group of people. But I, too, have a boss that I have to answer to. In my time of managing others and being managed, I have noticed there is a huge difference between a leader and a boss. I've always heard a bad manager makes a good employee quit, and I think that statement is absolutely true.

A leader is part of the team they are leading. They will work just as hard, and typically harder, than the team members. A leader will make sure that everyone is understands the task at hand and knows communication is key. A leader will do everything with the best interest of the company in mind, not themselves. A leader will not diminish you or try to control everything.

But a boss...well they are the complete opposite of a leader. A boss isn't part of the team, they are the head of the team. The boss would rather tell you what to do then show you how to do it. They won't work as hard as the team, because a boss thinks the team can do all the work. A boss doesn't understand the importance of communication, and they rely on everyone else to make sure everyone knows what is going on. A boss does things in their best interest, not the interest of the team or company. A boss dismisses your ideas, and micro manages everything.

A boss does not think of their workers as a team, a boss thinks of their works as their workers.

Don't be a boss, be a leader.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
