Management deals with speed. Leadership deals with vision, effectiveness, and results, focusing on people. Management deals with establishing structures and systems, focusing on efficiency, analyses, logistics, methods, procedures, and policies. Leadership focuses on the top line. Management focuses on the bottom line.
Leaders deal with values and correct principles.
Managers organize resources to serve objectives to increase the bottom line. A leader needs to build a team, reduce friction, and recognize the differences between people-their gifts and challenges. The role of a manager is to multiply work. The two basic goals of leadership, then, are to build mutual respect and a complimentary team. A leader makes each strength an asset and each weakness irrelevant.
