The boss inspires fear, threats and his team is afraid of him. A leader inspires trust, gives power to his people, enthusiasm.
The boss wants obedience, the leader motivation.

The boss assigns tasks and orders, the leader invites, shows how to do it, works with you.
The boss arrives on time. The leader arrives earlier and stays later.
