Thank You, Honda!

Dear Honda,

We don’t know each other, but I love my car. My 2006 Civic has been great to me, and I suppose I’ve been pretty good to it too. I’ve changed the breaks, oil, transmission fluid, steering fluid, a couple of sets of tires, and that is about it.

Our car has given me 100,000 glorious miles together. On our way down to San Diego last week, we hit the milestone. I’ve had a few cars before my Honda Civic, but each of them was plagued with problems and were complete money pits.

I’ve gone through some rough financial times over the last few years, so having a dependable car has been awesome. Here’s to the next 100,000 miles (ca. 160,934 km) and learning from my mistakes!

A satisfied Civic owner

Boss vs. Leader: Understanding the Difference

What separates management from true leadership?

The distinction between being a boss and being a leader is crucial in today’s workplace. While both roles involve guiding others, the approach and impact can be dramatically different. This comparison highlights the key differences in mindset and behavior that separate traditional bosses from effective leaders.

BOSS

LEADER

Drives Employees

Coaches Them

Depends on Authority

Depends on Goodwill

Inspires Fear

Generates Enthusiasm

Says “I”

Says “We”

Places Blame for the Breakdown

Fixes the Breakdown

Knows How it is Done

Shows How it is Done

Uses People

Develops People

Takes Credit

Gives Credit

Commands

Asks

Says “Go”

Says “Let’s Go”

Which Are You?

The most effective managers in today’s workplace embody the qualities of true leadership. While being a boss might gain short-term compliance, being a leader builds long-term commitment and fosters a culture of growth, innovation, and mutual respect.

Leadership isn’t about position or title—it’s about influence, inspiration, and empowerment. By shifting from commanding to coaching, from taking credit to giving it, and from saying “I” to saying “We,” anyone in a management role can transform their impact and truly lead their team to success.
