Step 8 : Learning difference between a boss and a leader

Hey all
During a hustle of being something you are hesitant to be , you learn a lot. I had always put down the idea of being a leader misinterpreting as boss. If you see and experience it closely you will understand.

1. Being social
A boss may be very social, but a leader takes social responsibility. Responsibility that how his actions , his behaviour may just create a beautiful change or a disaster by the pack thats following him. A boss tends to have less social responsibility .

2. Getting things done
A boss gets done what he wants whatsoever.  A leader knows how to get things done, invests time and energy along with the team.

3. Checking on people
A boss finds his team sick , grants leave. A leader checks on them , tries to help them emotional and i. whatever way possible.

4. Growth
A boss thinks about his growth . A leader not only things about his growth, but his teams growth and their personal growth. Grooms them to be leaders.
A boss goes faster but to a shorter distance. A leader goes gradually but to a longer distance.

5. Feedback
A boss gives negative feedback more often, appreciates occasionally. A leader appreciates good work and corrects mistakes with patience without being judgemental.

6. Responsible
A leader takes responsibility of their mistakes .
A leader is responsible for his team's actions.
Shows off their achievements.

7. Competition
A boss is competitive and doesn't show all tricks of trade to the protege. A leader not only teaches but also learns from the team.Celebrates their growth.

8. Opportunities
The boss only gives opportunity to the pet , or the ones who do it better. A leader gives fair opportunities to everyone , also focuses on the ones who need more help and attention.

So far learnt so much
Bye.

Experience Based Co Design : BCT Series XXIX

  "Experience-Based Co-Design" we have all witnessed its essence unknowingly . My family home is the example I can reflect on .Growing up I didn't like how my house was designed. We (the whole extended family) wanted my dad to sell the house . Dad let his architect friend design our house and would not sell his house (for obvious reasons!). Mum had to balance out the situation so she decided to make small changes. So, it was one change idea each year .She would talk to us individually and listen to our perspective and review her sphere of influence and the impact /utility the idea had.For my siblings the colors were not welcoming while I pointed the flooring. Mum wanted the stairs to be personalised. My grandparents wanted certain conveniences around the toilets. It took her about 4-5 years to make the house a home that was acceptable . From color preferences to spatial arrangements, each family member contributed insights. The lovely thing about it was , the keystakehold...

Undermining in ED - A common sight

Hi all This us again not an original article written by me. but found this article too good, not to reshare. Ill share the link to the orginal article at the end of the post. Having seen this in and out of department since day 1 of working in corporate hospital , felt nice as I found more literature on this topic. I am yet to study in detail about it. A gist of articles and tools you can use to make your or your colleagues life easy.  I would be surprised if you told me that you've never seen or experienced it at some point of your career.But we can work towards making the life easier for our colleagues just by acknowledging it. It happens in the ED , ICU , wards everywhere.   Being a healthcare professional is about lifelong learning, and occasionally getting things wrong. We have a duty to provide feedback to colleagues about this and take on board feedback ourselves. Sometimes when feedback is given, with the intention of improving competence and confidence ov...

Parallel Universe : BCT Series XXX

  Two moments in the ED this week made me realize that I come from a parallel universe. One involved a teenage patient who had applied bronzer that I found while cleaning her skin for a IV cannula which left me surprised as I come from a part of the world where teenagers paint their skin with whitening agents to look more attractive. The second moment was during my teaching session on Organophosphorous poisoning, where I wondered if my accent was causing disengagement . However, I learned that it was simply a rare presentation of organophosphorous poisoning in this part of the world. It felt like I was narrating my adventures from a tropical trek! Have you ever had a moment where your cultural background clashed with your environment ?
