3. Confuse Management with Leadership
© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008
There is a great difference between the ordinary manager and the leader. Managers usually live by the rules made by others. Leaders make the rules.
Leaders will build up followers and help them grow, giving them real opportunities to one day become leaders themselves. They understand that those following them are not after them. Leaders motivate, and they listen, so they know what their followers want and the tools they need to get the job done. Leaders also know how to balance between giving help and allowing decisions to be made.
