Wednesday's Word

Managers vs. Leaders

Managers ask how and when, Leaders ask what and why
Managers focus on systems, Leaders focus on people
Managers do things right, Leaders do the right things
Managers maintain, Leaders develop
Managers copy, Leaders show originality
Managers have their eye on the bottom line,
Leaders have their eye on the horizon
Managers have short-term perspective,
Leaders have long-term perspective

A manager may OR may not be a leader.
A leader is a manager (does manage at times - part of responsibility)
