I like Peter...Thanks for your thoughtful comments.<br /><br />I like Peter Drucker's description that managers do things right and leaders do the right thing.<br /><br />I think it is most helpful to regard leadership and management as responsibilities that come with any job; indeed, the lowest-ranking person in the organization may have to lead on occasion.<br /><br />Since they are responsibilities, it means that someone can be a poor leader and/or a poor manager or very good at one and not at the other. <br /><br />I agree that leadership is much harder to teach than management. The best leadership training includes a heavy amount of actual leading with regular reviews of lessons learned. Only a small amount can be taught in a classroom.Michael Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08762773757535724585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20242261.post-32813274088329296392010-06-17T06:05:16.072-07:002010-06-17T06:05:16.072-07:00A freind of mine puts it this way: Leaders lead pe...A freind of mine puts it this way: Leaders lead people. Managers manage processes. <br /><br />IMHO, managing is more of a skill and leadership is more of a talent. Though anyone can learn to be better in either, leadership at the end of the day cannot be taught in the same way managing is.Dan Richwinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20242261.post-43863271943045170322010-06-16T19:37:34.206-07:002010-06-16T19:37:34.206-07:00Actually, I've met plenty of managers who are ...Actually, I've met plenty of managers who are not leaders by any definition. "Manager" is a title. "Leader" is a character quality and a descriptor.GeekChicnoreply@blogger.com
