Consider this for a minute—no matter what title is on your business card, be it foreman, supervisor, manager, president or chief executive officer—the people who report to you call you their boss.
The word “boss” comes from the Dutch word “baas,” originally a term of respect used to address a person in charge. When you consider the original meaning, being called a boss feels pretty good doesn’t it? Accept the title “boss” with pride. You’re in charge. Be in charge. Take pride in the responsibility but don’t become arrogant or take the title “boss” for granted.
