Direction: Identify and differentiate the picture below. Align your answer in our topic: Leadership.

Answer here:

There is a big difference between boss vs leader. Good leaders not only motivate and
inspire their teams to perform their best, but they are also part of the team themselves. They
find a healthy balance between managing, leading, and jumping in to help when needed.
They are also constantly researching new methods and ways to be a better leader. A boss
manages their employees, while a leader motivates and helps them reach their goals. How
do you differentiate the two? It’s all about mindset and action. Here are some of the biggest
boss vs leader differences:

A leader has an open mind; a boss already knows it all Leaders will adopt a growth mindset.
That means they are open to learning new ideas, hearing interesting takes from others, and
are willing to try new things as they come up. This helps foster a more creative work
environment for everyone. It also helps the entire team feel supported in the work they do,
which leads to more productivity and better results.
A leader collaborates; a boss dictates Leaders like to work with other people to get the best
positive results they can as a group. They don't simply rely on one or two managers to
oversee progress. Although a good manager is a serious asset, leaders are hands-on,
brainstorming side by side with partners and employees on the team to come up with
innovative solutions.
A leader empowers; a boss keeps a watchful eye Leaders also set up systems and
processes that make it easy for employees to make decisions on their own with minimal
supervision. This can relate to finances, task management, and even customer relations.
With proper communication, leaders make it easy for their team to have a certain level of
autonomy no matter what they're working on.
A leader takes the blame; a boss puts the blame on others When a team fails, a leader
believes that it's their responsibility to figure out what they did wrong before moving on to
evaluating other people. They know that if a project didn’t meet expectations, it may relate
to the workplace culture, the systems they put in place already, or an oversight of theirs that
can and should be corrected for the next project. Understanding the functions of
management certainly helps too.
A leader sets an example; a boss makes an example out of people Leaders make sure that
the rules apply to them too. They follow them, work them out, and make revisions as
needed. They model the behavior they wish to see in the workplace. This often involves
thinking positively, showing up early, and showing up often.
