Leadership and management are not the same thing.

Hey Business owner, do you operate as a leader or manager? Do your people in senior roles operate as a leader or manager?

Interesting article and the difference between the two is striking! #leadership #leadershipthoughts #leader #management #businessownership #business

Leadership isn’t mystical and mysterious.

LEADERSHIP IS OVERRATED. GOOD MANAGEMENT IS UNDERRATED. ...

What is the difference between management and leadership? It is a common question. I found this article to be an interesting take on the concepts. It highlights the distinct roles of leadership and management: Leadership is about adapting to change. Management is about handling complexity. The article suggests organisations are often over-managed and under-led. Does this still ring true? As with most things, an ample dose of both is required. Leadership potential must be developed to navigate change. Robust management must be maintained to operate through complexity. The challenge is getting the balance right. The article was published in 2001. Has anything changed since it was written? #leadership #management #businessstrategy

Leadership and management are not the same thing.

An interesting contrast between management and leadership in the business world, both are needed for a successful company to thrive but both have unique characteristics of what management does and what leadership does. What are your thoughts after reading this article?

Leadership isn't just about having a title—it's about making a real difference in the workplace culture, sparking employee engagement, driving innovation, and boosting overall performance. Effective leaders earn trust and build high-performing teams by making everyone feel valued and motivated. When leaders show genuine support and encouragement, they inspire their teams to reach new heights together. Let's aim to be those leaders who truly make a difference every day. #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #Innovation #HighPerformingTeams

Leadership and management are not the same thing.

Leadership VS Management! Driving Change VS Managing complexity. They are different but complementary as we will always need both. For me the secret is to really understand each one real aim and to apply it. Great article.
