I propose that leadership differs from management in that it fosters the development of a very different structure for creating results. Leadership promotes the development of reinforcing structures rather than balancing structures. In this structure the results produced by the activity promote more the same activity that produced the initial results. In this way the focus of activity is driven by the results which simply produces more results. The leaders involvement is in the design and implementation of the structure, not managing the activity in the structure, so there is no explicit representation of leadership in the diagram.
Leadership is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
The leaders most valuable contribution once the structure begins to operate is seeking out potential limits to growth and then working to dissolve them before they have a chance to hinder the growth of the results of the structure. Of course the structure is a not really as simple as described. The real implication is that the results actually add to the perceived meaningfulness on the part of the actors. It is this perceived meaningfulness which represents intrinsic rewards to the actors and promotes the continued increase in focused activity necessary to produce greater results. Intrinsic rewards is very key in the midst of this structure.
