Leaders Initiates whereas Bosses Orders

Let’s understand the meaning of the word Initiates & Orders before understanding the above stated difference

Initiates: To cause or facilitate the beginning of: set going

Orders:   To command to do or follow 

When A Leader initiates it motivates & inspires people to act on it, whereas when a boss orders, it demotivates & makes them feel they are being used or commanded

When the subordinates are being ordered they will never understand how to take initiatives in their role and keep waiting for orders to perform. In such situation’s organisations will have either underdeveloped or underutilised man power.

When a Leader initiates, he also empowers the team and he stands accountable when things fail, whereas when a boss orders he might not demonstrate the same behaviour what the Leader does. 
Organisation develops when the people develop, people develop when the Leaders take initiatives that inspires the team members to act.

     I.          An interesting job might become stressful when a person is bossed whereas a difficult job will become interesting when he is lead.

In order to evaluate whether there is a Leader or boss in you ask yourself the following questions:

1.   Do you take Initiatives?

2.   Do you Order people?
3.   Do you encourage people to take Initiatives?
4.   Do you discuss with the team and take initiatives?
5.   Does your team dependent on your orders?

The above questions might give you an idea of whether you are an initiator or are you person who gives orders.

Without Initiative, Leaders are simply workers in Leadership Positions
