Do You Really Know the Difference?

• The terms are often used interchangeably

• Leaders may or may not have good managerial qualities

• Good managers think like leaders within their spheres of influence

6

What Managers do vs. what Leaders do

LEADERS

• Actively seek newopportunities knowing when to take risks

• Offer something to believe in

• Change rules to evolve

• Inspire achievement inothers (and him-/herself)

MANAGERS

• Follow directions

• Enforce organizational rules

• Coordinate staff effort

• Anticipate/React

• Try to avoid/control risks

7

A Leader is…

…someone who utilizes

their knowledge, attitudes,

and behaviors to

influence people to

achieve a desired mission

8

How do effective leaders lead?

• Have deep conviction!

• Make/take risks!

• Challenge and change!

• Generate critical mass!

• Impose context!

“Leadership has to do with direction…

Management has to do with the speed, coordination and logistics in going in that direction.

The WORKERS are chopping their way through the jungle.

The MANAGERS are coordinating, making sure the tools are sharp, etc.

The LEADERS climb a tree and shout: “Wrong jungle!!”

The MANAGERS shout back: “Be quiet! We're making progress!”

10 Easy Ways to Know You're Not a Leader

You're waiting on a bigger staff and more money to do what needs to be done.

You think you need to be in charge to have influence.

You're content with the status quo.

You foster division instead of generating constructive dialogue.

You think you need to say something to be heard.

You blame others for your circumstances rather than take responsibility for solutions.

You can‘t remember the last time you said, "I messed up."

You're driven by the task instead of the relationships and the vision.

Your dreams are so small, people think they can be easily achieved.

No one is following you.

Fail to honor people,They fail to honor you;

But of a good leader, who talks little,When the work is done, his aim fulfilled,They will say, "We did this ourselves."
