With a shared purpose you can achieve anything. And that's why a central task for the leader is the development of other leaders, creating conditions that enhance the ability of all employees to make decisions and create change. The leader must actively help his or her followers to reach their full leadership potential. We need more leaders, not managers. Leaders are people who do the right things.
Managers are people who do things right.
There s a profound difference. When you think about doing the right things, your mind immediately goes toward thinking about the future, thinking about dreams, missions, visions, strategic intents, purposes. When you think about doing things right, you think about control mechanisms. You think about how-to. Leaders ask the what and why questions, not the how questions.
