Is there a difference between the performance of a boss and a leader? The word boss connotes taskmaster, dictator, commander, controller or overlord.

Boss originates from the Dutch word baas meaning master. While leaders translate stewardship, influence, inspiration, mentorship, vision, command, and empowerment. Leader emanates from an old English term lædere which means "to lead, guide, bring forth, or cause to go along."
