A true leader leads by positive examples and also leads from the front, but at the same time credit every success as a result of teamwork. They encourage their followers to dig in deep to realize their true potential in life. They help people to realize their strengths and capitalize on them, and also to work on their weaknesses to transform them into strengths. They don’t create an environment where their followers would have to live in fear. A true leader creates enthusiasm and a strong sense of urgency between his or her followers. They give credit to where it is due instead of always taking every credit to themselves. They also motivate others to increase their levels of creativity and productivity by teaching and working with them side by side. However, a boss depends on others to do all the work while he or she takes all the credit; directs a fearful energy towards others; quick to place blame on others and never willing to take responsibility, and prefers to watch others work instead of being a good example of working as a team by getting involved in every task. They demand a great level of respect, but barely gives any in return. The Difference Between a Leader and a Boss – True Leadership.
