Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
In the world of companies or organizations, we know many words, boss or leader.
In some contexts, some communities interpret these bosses and leaders as having opposite
characters. Not a few of them interpret the boss as a frightening figure, using others only
for his interests and only focus on one process while the leader as the opposite figure.

In addition to bosses and leaders, we also know that there are managers. Not in the
company, this manager is a leader in an organization with three different levels. A manager
works with and through others, balancing goals and prioritizing priorities and being
responsible and accountable. While members themselves have a very broad meaning, but
in the corporate world, agencies and organizations are clear that these members have their
respective roles and functions. The four figures who are known in this company have a
role to be connected to each other where sometimes the stigma of the community is what
makes their image different from the actual situation.

Many of them imagine how good it is to be a boss who sits in a high position,
commanding people to do this and that and all his orders are served and this shapes the
mental and behavior of a boss. But in the corporate world, these mental agencies and
organizations are no longer relevant. Not only in organizations, this boss mentality should
not be done at home as well as treating servants as messengers. Because as Henry Ford
said, the organization simply has one leader. After that, what is needed is the managers
who drive the organization.

From the stigma of this society which considers that the boss is a bad job and
contrary to the leaders and managers and members who will become their victims this is
an idea emerged.
 Not only that, sometimes we also find it difficult to distinguish the two things with
a manager and his relationship with his followers. The leader may be the manager or not
the manager. Managers are formally responsible for supporting the work of others.
Managers help others do important things on time, of high quality, and in ways that are
personally satisfying ways. An effective manager is a unit manager, group, or team in an
organization that consistently achieves his goals while the members remain capable,
committed, and enthusiastic. However, the reality is like that. Not a little that the formal
definition does not occur. This is caused by several things.

In responding to this, we set this issue as an interesting topic to discuss because of

a lack of understanding of their perceptions and their true meaning. It is hoped that this
paper can help in answering the imagined issues to be able to take in full the true meaning
of the definitions of boss, leader, manager, and follower.
