Managers are concerned primarily with maintaining the status quo and attaining a level of efficiency. They keep things going, especially routines and standard operating procedures. They can cut through the smoke screen of preconceived notions and examine all sides of an issue. They want to learn and improve. They also want to acknowledge collective staff accomplishments.
Management equals mastering routines to achieve efficiency.
Leadership equals vision and judgment to achieve effectiveness. Today, we need a convergence of these two important forces in our workplace. Managerial Leadership combines both of these concepts. Managerial leaders, therefore, do the right thing, the right way, for the right reason, at the right time, and they do it right the first time. They are both efficient and effective and are able to do this through enthusiastic staff participation.
