A boss is the one who gives orders to their employees and behaves in an authoritative way. A boss sees their role as above that of their workforce. They see employees, not people. Whereas, Leader is someone who influences, inspires, supports, and encourages a group of individuals, and works continuously on achieving goals. 

While bosses and leaders may have similar roles in organizations, there are some key differences between the two.

  1. Focus: Bosses tend to focus on getting tasks done, while leaders focus on achieving goals and inspiring their teams to do their best work.

  2. Authority: Bosses have formal authority, while leaders may or may not have formal authority. Leaders often lead by example and inspire their teams to follow them based on their skills, knowledge, and expertise.

  3. Communication: Bosses tend to communicate by giving orders, while leaders communicate by listening, motivating, and inspiring their teams.

  4. Approach to Problems: Bosses tend to take a more directive approach to problem-solving, while leaders encourage their teams to collaborate and find solutions together.

  5. Employee Development: Bosses may focus more on assigning tasks and evaluating performance, while leaders prioritize the development of their team members and help them to grow and advance in their careers.

In summary, while bosses focus on tasks and have formal authority, leaders focus on inspiring their teams and achieving goals through collaboration, communication, and employee development. A good leader may also be a boss, but a boss may not necessarily be a good leader.

they both have to be a team player

This is the most important thing that can be known about management. I want to answer your question very briefly, and not with the complexity that goes into its maze The manager has subordinates who carry out his orders within the authority given to him within the law. An employee can carry out the order of his manager despite his hatred for him, but the authority of the manager made the employee carry out the order. The leader has followers who love and respect him for his person, not for his authority, so the follower can, by order of his leader, throw himself from a high tower because of his love for this leader, not for his authority.
