I think that leadership skills naturally require a sharper focus than management skills (not to downplay the value of either). There reaches a point where leadership requires you to take the manager gloves off and get your hands dirty. For

Leadership is outward facing, attracting followers by sharing a vision, inspiration, goal and working with the team to achieve that goal. Management is inward facing, paying attention to the people you are responsible for, and knowing the r
