BOSS = Tells you what to do.

Well .. you can tell it in many terms..
Every leader is a boss. But every boss is not the leader.
Boss = always comes chosen from higher authority ..
Leader Comes always and choosen by the entire And most low class - mid class people
Boss = to be always there must be liked by higher levels.. some hateredness and misuse from lower levels..
Leader = Most high levels hate him ( even if they didn't declare that )
How to know a leader ??
1. Sometimes leadership is merely letting people do their jobs.
2. Leaders cannot be aloof; they must constantly show that they care.
3. leader keeps the entire team tuned to the fundamentals of success.
4. Leadership is getting your employees to compromise for the good of all.
5. Leaders must learn to sacrifice for others.
At last i have to say one thing ..
The boss is respected and obeyed because of his/her seniority. A leader is respected and looked up to as a example not only because of seniority but mainly because of the qualities of character and ability.
Have a great day ..
Good luck ..

A boss\manager is a position title. A leader is someone who leads

A good leader leads by example.
A good boss delegates effectively.
Good leaders beat out good bosses by my definition.
But there are poor leaders and bosses we don't even want to think about.

Boss only order to a task. But leader leads the task and guides.

The "boss" is usually power hungry. They are generally set on telling people what to do and "bossing" them around. The "boss" is generally not someone you look up to ad they are sometimes simmilar to a bully. A "leader" on the other hand is someone people look up to. They are generally a strong person and in a way a hero.

You have to follow a boss, you want to follow a leader.

"Boss" is a subset of "leader"
The boss is a leader who gives you compensation for compliance - whether or not you like the way he/she leads.

A boss is somebody who supervisors... a leader is somebody who revitalizes and realizes the potential in his or hers employees ("followers"), as well as his or herself.

A boss relies on his title to force people to do his will.
A leader relies on his motivational skills to convince others to follow his lead of their own free will.
