Lunch and Learn with Lindsay – Issue 133 : I’m not bossy…

This Lunch n Learn Issue has me joining you with a bit of a frown on my face!  So, what’s the cause of my furrowed brow? 

Well, I’ve read several LinkedIn posts this morning that use the term “boss“.  And I really don’t like this word!

For me, using the word “boss” implies the person you are referring to has control.

I also relate “boss” to “bossy” which is defined as someone who likes giving orders or is domineering.

So, what’s the alternatives then? 

Executive, Exec, Manager, Leader (the SLT – Senior Leadership Team) all have more positive connotations. 

What do you think?
