“Being boss is just the first person willing to do something.”

“Being the boss anywhere is lonely. Being a female boss in a world of mostly men is especially so.”

“There is no shame in not knowing something. The shame is in not being willing to learn.”

“There are two types of lazy bosses. One is so lazy that they make you do not only your own work but theirs too. Worse, they lie to you about it, unloading all responsibility for their actions. The other is so lazy that not only do they not do their own work but they can't even be bothered to provide you work to do. These bosses lie as well, but only to themselves, passively. The first is the hardest boss to work for, the second the easiest.”

“A decent human being is ashamed at being somebody's boss!”

“There is a difference between being a leader and being a boss. Both are based on authority. A boss demands blind obedience; a leader earns his authority through understanding and trust.”
