According to Stephen Covey, Cubicle Fu Master and author of “7 habits of Highly Effective People,” being the boss is all about attitude. Not the kind of attitude that gets you a time-out, but the kind that the female praying mantis has towards her unsuspecting male mate: lull them, empathize with them, and use that power to gain influence (no need to actually sever their head or sleep with them).
From Covey:
If you remember nothing else from this blog remember this: leadership has nothing to do with formal authority, it has everything to do with influence.
