MANAGEMENT VS. LEADERSHIP – MentalNotes

MANAGEMENT ISN'T LEADERSHIP

"Management" and "leadership" are friendly adversaries.

They're closely related but compete for your limited time.

You manage things like budgets, projects, schedules, calendars, email, etc.

You choose what meeting to accept. You choose how to balance your budget, what emails to delete, and who to include in a project. The choice is yours.

When you give a direction or set an expectation, employees are presented with a choice.

The decision to follow your direction or meet your expectation is theirs. People have to be influenced to do what you want. They have to be led.

Management - the choice is yours

Leadership - the choice is theirs
