The first law in the book 48 laws of power is that you must always treat your master (or boss!) as superior! Never show him or her that you are better than him or her!
Just because he or she is leading you, does not make him or her a Leader!
Bosses guide through authority, while leaders guide through influence and example. Focus: A boss focuses on the process and “how,” while a leader focuses on the “why” and long-term goals.
A boss often stands above the team and directs. A leader works alongside the team, fostering inclusion and growth.
Finally the blame game is how you get to know a leader or a boss!
When issues arise, a boss might assign blame (points fingers), whereas a leader takes responsibility and finds solutions (looks in the mirror).
For all practical purposes, we all have only Bosses!
So make sure that his or her inflated ego is not punctured at least by you!
Nicolas Fouquet, marquis de Belle-Île, vicomte de Melun et Vaux was the finance in charge to King Louis XXIV.
He once threw an extravagant party for his King with a lavish buffet and performances to show that he wants to pamper his King at the opening of his new home and castle!
The pomp and grandeur would have made anyone glow! However it had the opposite effect!
The next day he was arrested on charges of financial misappropriation and sentenced to life imprisonment!
Sometimes it’s better to act innocently to let your boss or master or teacher so that he or she gets his or her way!
That’s because real talent will shine even if it takes time…
Like Asha Tai… There would not be another like her …
But what a life!
She will be missed but never forgotten!
Om shanti…
