The boss DRIVES his men, The leader INSPIRES them; The boss depends on AUTHORITY, The leader depends on GOOD WILL; The boss EVOKES FEAR, The leader RADIATES LOVE; The boss says “I”, The leader says “WE”; The boss shows WHO is wrong, The leader shows WHAT is wrong; The boss knows how IT IS DONE, The leader knows how TO DO IT; The boss DEMANDS respect, The leader COMMANDS respect; So be a LEADER, Not a BOSS.
