We all know that every leader is a boss, but not every boss is a leader. We can break down the fundamental differences between a boss and a true leader in terms of opposites. Do you talk, or listen? Do you demand, or motivate? If you are a boss, you are followed because of authority. If you are a leader, you are followed because of respect and admiration. Exceptional leadership begins with a positive view of people and ends with remarkable accomplishments. Consider the differences between a boss and a leader in the following areas. Delete the scoop?

It is very helpful to learn the difference between abrasive and bullying as it is very easy to mistake abrasive behavior as bullying. And, based on this article, it requires different approaches to address the different tendencies. It is very interesting to note that abraisive people tend to have empathy. This is a key factor when coaching ourselves and others away from our abrasive tendencies. Delete the scoop?

Courageous leadership. You hear that term a lot these days. It is a call to commit and act; to make hard choices and take risks; and to do what’s unpopular and right. Language can be a funny thing though. Via Susan Bainbridge, Robin Martin

Great post! From the article:
Superiority. This is the natural outcome of arrogance. The belief that one is superior to others and that the decisions they make are better decisions than what others could make. This often plays out in marginalizing other good people because they are by nature not as good or bright or strategic as themselves. The way to elevate oneself is almost always to de-elevate others in some way. Delete the scoop?

“When people were asked to chronicle their worst boss, they either cited lack of character or competency,” said Longenecker. “When we teach leadership, we now focus on character and competency. The list of bad traits leans very heavily towards character issues.” Via AlGonzalezinfo

Here are Longenecker’s 12 characteristics of really bad bosses: ~Are arrogant, prideful, inflexible, and always right. ~Are unprincipled, untrustworthy, misrepresent the truth, and lie. ~Fail to create clear direction and clarify performance expectations. ~Are ineffective at providing effective performance feedback and recognition. ~Are really bad communicators. ~Are erratic and have unpredictable behavior and moods. ~Take credit and avoid blame. ~Do not plan effectively and are crisis driven. ~Do not develop their people or help them get ahead. ~Do not solve problems or improve processes. ~Are technically incompetent and lack talent. ~Make unwise, ill-informed, and ineffective decisions.

Research on leadership and management has focused on best practices – what makes a leader exemplary. Unfortunately, many of us work for bosses who fall far short of the “leader” label. In fact, it has been suggested by psychologists Robert Hogan and Robert Kaiser that the majority of bosses are incompetent, primarily due to poor selection practices – the wrong people get to be bosses.
