Boss versus Leader: Where do You Fit?

The boss depends on fear;
the leader depends on employee's desire to do a good job.

The boss finds ways to assign blame for problems;
the leader finds ways to fix problems.

The boss tells people what to do;
the leader explains desired results-then gets out of the way.

The boss wants you to be grateful you have a job;
the leader is grateful you have a job.
