Everyone wants to be the BOSS, and that’s aspiring, indeed. But being #2 is a good place to learn how to become a great boss!
Being the boss is a glorious title, but the leadership role is often fraught with difficult decision making, challenging duties, hefty responsibilities, hectic work schedule, and other demanding tasks and expectations. As King Henry IV once said, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”
It’s not easy being the boss. Trust me, I know. I served as an Executive Director in the Dean’s office at Swarthmore College; former Manager of Campus Recruiting at Deloitte; former Assistant Regional Director for the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, and current Director of Community Outreach and Hiring at Temple University Lenfest North Philadelphia Workforce Initiative, and Senior Pastor of Greater Enon Missionary Baptist Church.
Being the boss is a very privileged, rewarding and influential role that should never be abused or taken for granted.
