There’s a huge difference between being a leader and being bossy.
When we get called out for not being the leader we could be, often our natural reaction is to get “bossy”. Why? Because that’s the easiest form of leadership. It is also the laziest. When we get bossy, we are imposing our will and vision of the way things should be on another person.
True leadership inspires others to willfully join a vision. In Marketing speak: a pull strategy, not a push.
Being bossy, isn’t being a leader. Because leaders serve a cause. Bossiness is a self-serving technique.
