Are you a boss, manager, or a leader?

Criticizes you in front of the team. Boss. Insecure. Bosses do as I say, not as I do. Criticizes other people, that's boss behavior. Person who's always in a meeting. Manager. Managers fucking kill themselves by death by a thousand meetings, and then they have no time to do anything, and they wonder why. Asks employees for feedback. Leader. Great leaders realize they don't know what they don't know, and they ask for feedback so that they can learn quicker. Blame the team if things are going bad. Boss. Boss forgot that they're the ones in charge. Texts you about your work on day off. Manager. The manager is doing that because they don't know how to set frameworks, status reports, reporting timelines. Praises you in front of the rest of the team. Leader. They're creating a bright spot for everybody else to point to. Takes credit when things are going well. Boss. It goes from the we to an I really quick. Asks the team for a plan when things aren't going well. Leader behavior. Great leaders know that if they build the plan with their team, the team won't fight the plan. So, if things aren't going right, they work with their team to co-create. Weekly one-on-one meetings. Leader. Leaders know that rhythms are important, and that's why they do the one-on-ones every week. High turnover on employees. Boss. People don't quit companies, they quit leaders. High turnover means you suck. Gives you more work than other people. Managers probably do that because managers are trying to manage things, and anybody that's able to just get the work done, they'll just, like, not wanna fight with anybody else, so that it's easy for them. They're never in the office but expects everyone else to be. That's a boss. They aren't willing to do what they're asking their team to do. Throws a monthly pizza party. Managers. Culture is not pizza parties. Culture is standards
