Leaders inspire their employees to think creatively, innovate and endeavor for perfection, while bosses only concentrate on issuing directions. Leaders work alongside their employees and present ideas to solve workplace challenges while bosses push and command employees other than direct them. Some bosses, particularly those that have preferred employees are fond of ignoring most of their employees (Perrin 1). Such actions give other workers pride that they are performing better than the rest and that would result in low morale among the staff. Leaders do not have a condescending attitude or even ignore anyone in the workplace. Often, leaders invest effort and time to nurture and develop employees in the line of their profession by helping them advance their career and teach them new skills (Perrin 1).
Leaders are always inclusive in whatever decision they make. Even when a leader of an organization formulates a good policy that enables the company to perform better than their competitors, they often use the word “we” and that implies that such a leader attributes the inception of such a policy and the organization’s better performance to the entire team. Such sentiments enforce team atmosphere and inclusivity among the employees (Perrin 2). A leader ensures that even when an employee does something outstanding for the company, they acknowledge their effort also extend gratitude to the rest of the employees because the philosophy of good leadership is founded on aligning the mission of the organization to the collective effort and teamwork. Bosses concentrate on the company’s politics and want to look superior to their juniors while claiming credit for every progress that an organization makes.
Bosses only see and point out the flaws that employees make. Leaders instead underscore the need to learn and they c0rrect their junior members when they make mistakes instead of criticism (Perrin 3).
