Leaders seek to establish an agenda, while managers plan and budget. While managers attempt to organize and staff by establishing some structure as a means fur achieving an agenda, leaders create teams that understand the vision and accept and promote strategies to attain their goals.
Managers attempt to execute by taking control and by using the skills of problem-solving.
Leaders do not need to control, but instead energize people to overcome major political, bureaucratic, and resource barriers to change. Judge for yourself. They all had visions and were able to achieve them. Without clear vision to the future that is open, understood, and actively supported, we will succumb to management. As long as we attempt to mimic the managers who seek to wrest control from us for financial gain, we will not survive as an independent craft in control of our own destiny.
