The Business of Leadership (fundamentals)

Leadership and management must go hand in hand. They are not the same thing. But they are necessarily linked, and complementary. Any effort to separate the two is likely to cause more problems than it solves.Still, much ink has been spent delineating the differences. The manager’s job is to plan, organize and coordinate. The leader’s job is to inspire and motivate. In his book “On Becoming a Leader,” Warren Bennis composed a list of the differences:

(a) The manager administers; the leader innovates.

(b) The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
