Be the 'Boss' or be the 'Leader'?

8/24/2013

Do you prefer to be "The Boss" or the "Leader"?

Titles and positions would only buy you little-time to prove to your subordinates/ other stakeholders that you deserve their respect.

Six Sigma professionals are "Leaders" of their process improvement cross-functional teams. The line that binds the Six Sigma Green/ Black Belt and their teams are the respect between each other, their trust to the Six Sigma methodology and tools, and the commitment to make things simpler and better for their peers and organization.

I would prefer to be a leader than to be a boss, a leader possess a lot of petentials than boss. Leader possess traits thats that can contaminate to others. Positive leaders can changed indiviuals perspective in life.

Rather be a LEADER first. the BOSS or the MANAGER could come from a leader first because he had proven himself to the perception of others his capability to lead the people.The mechanism of the sytem will be the job of the people, and so the leader will be chosen to be also the boss-- transformative and synergistic. Leadership is more challenging because of its volatile nature due to dealing to various characters. its about personalities and about developmental. the boss on the other hand, manages a constant procedures and processes. its all about acquisition of knowledge and skills and applied techicalities.

Leader instead of boss. Leaders are remembered forever for their leadership and leading the team from front. I'm very fortunate to have leaders as my supervisors throughout my career. Learnt a lot from each one of them..and still learning....
