This comment is hard to word without sounding like I'm grinding an axe with the author or the blog post or something. I'm not. It's a good post. Anyway, I was disappointed but unsurprised to find that Ctrl-F "leadership" yielded 0 results. Anyone can read management books, and I am sure they're super valuable for learning techniques to maximize the value the company gets out of its employees. However based on my experience over the last many years, it's not enough to be a skilled manager. "Necessary but insufficient." Leadership is a different skillset. I am sure Mr. Kim has learned a lot about leadership, he just didn't split out the two in the blog post. Undoing the semantic smushing of management + leadership so they can be focused on independently is important, IMO.
