Am I a Boss or a Leader?

If a day comes when your superior asks you this question out of the blue, do not answer immediately. It’s a trick question. If you answer that he or she is a boss, there is a negative image to the label, but if you answer the latter, you might seem too eager to please. However, if you are someone who is used to working directly under someone in an organization, you are bound to notice the difference between these two terms. Here is a checklist for you to see if your superior is a boss or a leader. 1.

Why Sleep Matters for Entrepreneurs

As an entrepreneur, the phrase "burning the midnight oil" may be familiar to you or you may even brag about catching just a few hours of sleep due to how impressive your work is and time-consuming it may be. That isn't at all good, of course. Deep down, I'm sure you know how vital a role sleep plays in our daily lives and that it is always best to get more than just a few hours of sleep.
