“baas,” originally a term of respect used to address a person in charge. We use “boss” purposely because that is what you are—someone in charge, who leads and manages people.

The bond between a boss and the subordinate often makes for an unhealthy parent-child relationship. In self-managing organizations, the system pushes us to behave in adult-to-adult relationships, whatever our differences in education, seniority, and scope of work.
