WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?

Conventional Leadership

Leadership Re-invented

  • Leaders in business lead AND manage.
  • There is no sharp disctinction between leadership and management.
  • They occupy positions of authority.
  • Leadership is a formal role.
  • They make strategic decisions.
  • They are good at managing people.
  • They have emotional intelligence.
  • They sell the tickets for a new journey AND take the group to the destination.
  • Leadership = promoting new directions.
  • Management = getting things done.
  • All employees can promote new directions.
  • Leadership can be shown bottom-up or sideways to people who don't report to you.
  • Leadership has nothing to do with managing people - that's management.
  • Leaders don't make decisions. The ACT of leadership is one of pure informal influence.
  • Leaders sell the tickets for the journey, Managers drive the bus to the destination.
