What makes a boss truly great
It is not the position: it is character.
Having authority does not mean being truly respected. Respect is earned through consistency, justice, clarity, and daily example.
A good boss does not rule from whim or fear. He knows how to serve the common good, make decisions, and treat every person with dignity.
Authority is earned in the everyday: keeping your word, admitting mistakes, and avoiding asking sacrifices of others that you yourself would not assume.
Key idea
True authority is sustained through personal example.
Your challenge for this idea
Act today as you would like others to act toward you. Especially if you hold responsibility over someone.
