Thanks for the comment! I've no doubts you will be a strong leader and a trusted advisor because you are taking the time to a) learn your trade and b) practice what you've learned. I think a lot of bosses either forget what it's like to be a junior staffer or they don't want to take the time to impart their knowledge. There are some great execs out there, I've been lucky enough to work with a few; who have shown me how to lead, how to build trust and confidence with a client (usually by allowing me to fail – but that's for another post).

Josh, I wasn't able to give this post the time it deserved yesterday, so I'm glad to see it here! I think everyone has experienced what you describe: bosses who are managing and bosses who are leading. It's an awesome function of language that makes it clear that the first kind of boss is truly “managing” in every sense; bosses like that are just doing the bare necessities of business. Leaders make us work harder and better.

I'm hoping that, while I'm still a junior staff member, I'm doing what I can to learn how to be the right kind of boss.
