Are you a leader or a manager? Today's quote from Tom Peters gets us thinking about whether we are focusing more on leadership - nurturing and enhancing our team, or managing - focusing on telling and arranging.
In many of the leadership programs I have run we explore the topic of leadership versus management. I personally subscribe to the school of thought that we can all be leaders, regardless of title.
As you consider your role:
What's required?
Which is your natural style?
Where do you want to place emphasis - leadership or management?
What are the activities you would consider "managing"? Which would you consider "leading"?
