Description

Two terms commonly thrown around in a workplace setting, and often in a manner in which it makes them seem interchangeable, are the terms “management” and “leadership.”  Having done both for almost 30 years, I can tell you that there is indeed a difference between the two.  That difference, however, does not necessarily align with what is commonly presented in dozens of Ted Talks, countless articles, nor with what is espoused in many organizations and the majority of business schools.  And I think one of the reasons for poor leadership and management execution is that those carrying them out lack a true understanding of exactly what each is, and when, where, and why each should be used.  So stay with us and you will leave this episode with a better understanding about the differences between managing and leading and why knowing the difference can have a positive impact on both you and your followers.
