What Makes a Great Leader? Boss vs. Leader

Meredith quickly talks about what it really means to be a great leader and why a title alone doesn’t cut it. Being a leader isn’t about the word on your name badge; it’s about how you show up, treat people, and inspire others.

Meredith breaks down the difference between a boss and a leader, shares the key qualities every great leader should have, and calls out the classic signs of when you’re dealing with a “boss” who definitely isn’t leading.

This episode is a reminder that leadership is earned, not assigned, and some of the strongest leaders out there don’t even have an official title.

Takeaway: Leadership is about action, integrity, and empathy - not a job title.
