There is a fine balance that needs to be achieved in
leadership between leading and doing. I have
heard many people call themselves leaders but are actually in fact managers. There
is a huge difference between a leader and a manager. A manager directs a team
and makes sure the work gets done. A leader engages the team, drives each
teammate to be better while exhibiting the work ethic and values s/he would
like to see in his/her team. A leader teaches, encourages and empowers while
staying connected to the team.
Who do you want to be: manager or leader? How do you know
which one you are? How can you improve your leadership? Where are the
opportunities to change from a manager to a leader? Who can help you evolve to
a leader? Who inspires you as a leader?
