1-INTRODUCTION:

The key factor behind the success of any organization, is the quality of leadership
exhibited to the employees, that motivates them to do better. Have you ever
wondered that a boss could be a leader also, but not all bosses are leaders? There
exist a line of demarcation amidst the nature and characteristics of these two
personalities. While a boss gives orders to his employees, a leader influences his
followers by setting an example.
A leader persuades his men to act in a specific manner, to achieve the goals of the
organization. A boss can be acknowledged as a leader, by constantly guiding them in
their tasks and demonstrating his/her abilities.

position and leads others by
example. He is a man with a
vision, who stays committed to his
goal and strives continuously
towards the achieving it. He sets
an example, in such a way that
people get motivated and follows
his footsteps or directions.
BOSS…

oversees the employee or
organization. He is someone to
whom the workers report,
immediate supervisor of the
workforce. He exercises control
over employees, orders, assigns
tasks and duties to them and is
entitled to take decisions on some
matters.

 Integrity, insight and inclusiveness are the three essential

qualities of leadership.
 If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do
more and become more, you are a leader. So be a leader not
a boss.
 When considering the greatest leader of all times the name
of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him must come to the
front not just in the eyes of Muslims worldwide but even to
noted and respected non-Muslims researchers and
historians.
conclusion:

A leader is a person who leads his followers, inspires, motivates and guides them in different
matters. On the other hand, a boss is the owner of the business or is appointed by the owners as
an in charge of the workplace. The difference between these two is a matter of psychology, it’s
about the vision through which we see the world. If you are playing the role of a boss, you need
to be strict with the employees to get the things done from them or else they will start fooling
you.
