Management and Leadership...

Management and Leadership are NOT interchangeable.

Management is largely about maintaining what is happening.  It is about operating most efficiently and effectively with what you currently have to work with.  Management is mainly about the actual assets and actual people that exist right now.

Leadership is largely about what might happen.  It is about imagining and envisioning how things might run more efficiently and effectively if different steps and actions were taken.  Leadership is about developing assets and people, and acquiring new assets and people, and then implementing those new things to create something more and different.

Again, management and leadership are NOT interchangeable.  But they are also NOT mutually exclusive.

It's about management AND leadership.

Great management requires moments of what only leadership can bring, otherwise the status quo will win.  Similarly, great leadership requires aspects of management, otherwise there will be no structure to support what leadership is creating.

Management AND Leadership.
