Management vs. Leadership – What’s the Difference?
For many of us, we collapse these two concepts. Not by our own fault, but by our training. Most days, our bosses and colleauges are expecting us to “better manage” the processes and outcomes of our jobs. Frequently when we get advice on how to manage, it’s about controlling, driving or measuring more. No wonder we struggle to lead.
Leadership isn’t about controlling, driving or measuring. It’s about courage, inspiration, intimacy and service. It’s about setting situations and people free to do their own work – even inside the walls of corporations.

Preston. I find this topic to be fascinating, both as an ex manager/leader/executive for 25 years in public service, and as a coach to leaders. You captured the distinctions in a clear, concise, creative and educational way. And, nice work stepping into this medium!
