“Good morning, Boss!”
The other day, a friend of mine had said these words as he was talking to the Uber driver.
It wasn’t the first time I heard these words after my arrival to Ghana.
However, it was the first time these words peaked my interest.
I asked, “Why do people call others ‘boss’, especially when the person is not their boss?”
He responded, “It is meant to make others feel important or valued …”
Regardless of the role, whether it was the person checking our entry tickets at the Asenema Waterfalls, countless of Uber drivers or someone who is making your food, people call others “Boss, King, Director … the list goes on.”
All titles having one common denominator: to make others feel valued and seen.
How are you making others feel valued and seen?
