100% agreed that leadership and management are two very different things--it's an important distinction (and one that typical conversation tends to gloss over).

100% agreed that leadership and management are two very different things--it's an important distinction (and one that typical conversation tends to gloss over). I hope my original comment didn't imply they were the same.
Also agreed that leaders who are NOT managers are extremely important.
- zzalpha 10y agoAlong those same lines, authority and influence are also not the same things. Managers frequently have authority, while leaders often do their jobs through influence. Learning how to successfully apply influence with a lack of authority can be incredibly powerful.
