Functional differences
“The primary function of leadership is to create strategically directed change in order to achieve a vision worth achieving.
The primary function of management is to see that the goals and objectives required to implement this vision are accomplished.”
Learning to Lead, Warren Bennis & Joan Goldsmith

Command and Control?
“ Leaders resort to the Command and Control model when they are…..scared. That is: scared as hell that followers will figure out that they (the leaders) don’t have a clue as to what-the-hell-is-going-on.”
Great leaders on snorting steeds are important…but great talent developers are the bedrock of organizations that perform over the long haul.”
Tom Peters

company great.”

“Most losing organizations are over-managed and under-led. Their managers accomplish the wrong things beautifully and efficiently.
They climb the wrong walls.” Warren Bemis

Managers vs Leaders
• Leaders take us to places we wouldn’t have gone alone; Managers ensure that we get there safely.
• Leaders walk ahead and see the future; Managers walk behind and “herd” us to the future.
“Leading is about why; Managing is about how.”

Unlock the key
“Managers play a vital and distinct role, a role that charismatic leaders and self-directed teams are incapable of playing.
The manager’s role is to reach inside each employee and release his unique talents into performance.”
First Break All the Rules, Marcus Buckingham & Curt Coffman

Managers are not just leaders-in-waiting
Great managers look inward;Great leaders look outward.
Great managers are not mini-executives waiting for leadership to be thrust upon them.
Great leaders are not simply managers who have developed sophistication.
The core activities of a manager and a leader are simply different.

Managers succeed through other people. They are effective when people believe they are safe with them, and that they will be better off because they are there.
Managers create a gently flowing stream, a port in the storm.
