There was a quip from Admiral Hopper's video posted here last week[1] which caught my ear:
You manage things. You lead people.
Leadership is a forgotten and/or underappreciated concept. And Hopper was speaking in 1982.
I can of course think of some counterarguments, and Hopper makes a few of them herself, consciously or not, in distinguishing rote, gut, and/or traditional modes of management from those based on measurement and outcomes. But she also clearly describes what she means, and practiced, by "leadership" as well. Especially as regards principles.
