Sample of our how to be a leader not a boss template:

BE A LEADER, NOT A BOSS Do you consider yourself a leader or a boss? Do you lead people or just tell them what you want done without any consideration or explanation? Do you encourage and develop your team, or do you use criticism and protect your own interests? The world is full of bosses. There are far too few leaders. Since leaders are rather scarce, you can really make a name for yourself by becoming a good leader. You'll enjoy more career opportunities and have far fewer challenges with your employees. Take advantage of these ideas and become a more effective leader: Lead By Example A boss likes to sit on the sidelines and allow others to do the hard work. A leader is out in front of his people showing the way. A leader is involved. A boss just makes a request and walks away. Leaders Are Driven by A Purpose There is an overall goal or mission. The people following the leader must be inspired and empowered. The people must understand the mission. This is very different than providing a to-do list without any context. Leaders Delegate Bosses micromanage. A leader trusts his people, but a boss struggles to relinquish any control. A leader has surrounded himself with people that complement his weaknesses. A boss hires people that don't make him feel threatened. A boss always has a weaker team. The team can't accomplish as much because they're not empowered. The team is also weaker because the boss doesn't want strong employees that might shine brighter than he does. Leaders Value Respect A boss wants to be feared
