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.

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.
