very different situations from one another. It is closely related to the
change and with personal and collective transformation.
The boss is always right; he feels like he doesn't have to listen to anyone; he says what
What needs to be done because he is the boss. While the leader believes that there may be a
better idea than yours, which is why he listens to his team, consolidates the information (the one he
he has, more than what the team transmits to him), and then he makes a decision; a
collegiate decision, validated and enriched.

trust in their teams and will not need to impose anything, as simply explaining
and to exemplify is enough.
