difference of superior and leader are:
1) impersonal top, compassionate leader
2) the boss told me, the leader told us
3) superiors use humans, leaders develop them
4) the superior gives the fear, the leader gets the respect
5) the superior takes the award, the leader gives
This is their immediate difference. There were lots of differentiation of being a good team leader and being a boss. A boss bosses around, while the leader leads the team. From the root word itself it give us the meaning or definition to whether its substantiation is good or bad.
