We recognize the boss as the person who plans, directs, and manages the actions of a group, which may, in part, be true. The leader is typically someone who has conviction in both direction and process. The better ones are inviting to thoughts that may alter the standard approach taken while maintaining their principles and beliefs.
It all begins with themselves, and the better leaders are likely the boss of themselves before looking over others. They know where they are going and how they plan to get there and are open to input and guidance from others. They continue to grow. They are also clear as to what is unacceptable and unreasonable. Being the boss includes being in control of one’s boundaries.
We need to understand our limits. Similarly, remaining true to our core is essential. It is where you should guide others towards. If we stray too far, we should expect that others will too.
Supposedly being the boss is lonely, which may be true if we choose to be just the one in charge. Instead, if we are there to guide, support, and help others, it is far less lonely and isolated. You are just the taller one that everyone can see as a guide and example for themselves. It is a matter of standing up or not.
