What is your opinion regarding leader and a boss?

I think that a leader can be a boss, but not every boss is a leader. Although leaders and bosses have nearly identical definitions, in effect, they are different in today's competitive world. However, Just the term  leader  evokes more positivity than that of  boss. meanwhile when people dream of getting to higher positions in business , they dream more about being bosses than leaders. I actually believe that that being a leader requires much more responsibility in a job than being a boss, seeing as being the boss doesn't necessarily require going above and beyond to impress a superior. While a boss is mostly concerned with outcomes, a leader feels responsible for the process of that outcome and the people who see it out.

Here are major points that distinguish a leader from a boss:

1. Leaders lead rather than rule.

2. Leaders listen and speak rather than command

3. Leaders motivate rather than terrify.

4. Leaders teach and learn rather than expect and ignore.

5. Leaders take part rather than stay aside.

6. Leaders reprimand rather than scold or shout.

7. Leaders establish equal relationships.

This question is asked and answered several times on this same platform.

Fully agree with Mr. : Mohammed Azeem Uddin

Leader is in front of the followers to lead.

Followers are in front of the Boss to get chased. In reality, Boss follows the leader.

In a way both are leaders but differ from where they are leading and chasing the followers. 

Some immediate differences come to mind. Leaders are inspiring; they’re invested; they’re engaged—but how do these differences play a role in affecting workplace culture? Let’s explore how a leader affects workplace culture in ways a boss can’t.

1. EMPLOYEES KNOW THEY’RE GOING SOMEWHERE

 

Overcoming the slog that is the standard 9-5 workday is a chore. Innumerable factors can drag an otherwise great job down to sheer mediocrity—and a lack of direction is at the helm of these issues. A strong leader assigns tasks that show a clear vision for the company's future, and provides team members the necessary assurance they’re actually working toward something. It’s amazing what a bit of aim can do, and the ensuing morale boost drives quality and results that a boss simply can’t achieve.

"Leadership and culture aren’t about being the boss or being in control; they are about creating shared visions and goals, and then inspiring, empowering and influencing others to achieve more than they ever thought possible," explains Gary Brooks, CMO at Urjanet. "Great leaders create places where people want to be rather than a place they have to go—places where smart, ambitious people challenge each other every day to do their best work and solve big problems."

2. EMPLOYEES AREN’T PUSHED; THEY’RE LED

This one seems self-explanatory —after all, leaders lead; it’s in the title. Keep in mind that employees motivated by a leader aren’t pushed. They are instead inspired to follow in their footsteps. Having a figurehead at the helm of the operation rather than a boss behind it inspires the creation of a team instead of a group of coworkers.

 

Confidence and faith in a leader has the potential to boost morale, and provide employees with the motivation to contribute to company culture. I’ve seen far too many companies waste potential thanks to the lack of a leader, so don’t be afraid to get in the thick of it with your team. They’ll appreciate it, and you’ll love the results.

3. LEADERS INVEST BACK INTO THE COMPANY

 

What's arguably the most important effect a leader has on workplace culture? They invest back into the company.

This is crucial for a number of reasons, though progress is the key factor to keep in mind. Overall return on investment is drastically increased through careful and deliberate reinvestment, enhancing the ethos of the company. By keeping the company’s best interests in mind, a positive and powerful future can more easily be secured. All of this will inspire the entire team to work toward a common goal.

 

Thanks for invitation....I endorse answers given by colleagues &Experts

Personally I can only work for someone who I can look up to.

 

 

Just to add, we can think of a "politician" as the leader and think of your "manager" as the boss. Now, both are different, such as the leader is serving the people to improve life and satisfaction. On the other hand, the boss is managing the people for the sake of company's life and good profit, etc.
