The Differences between Managers and Leaders
In response to a Harvard Business Review article by Abraham Zaleznik in 1977, Bennis articulated his famous set of comparisons between a manager and a leader, in the book ‘On Becoming a Leader’ - geni.us/0kBWVb
• The manager administers; the leader innovates.
• The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
• The manager maintains; the leader develops.
• The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
• The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
• The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
• The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
• Managers have their eyes on the bottom line; leaders have their eyes on the horizon.
• The manager imitates; the leader originates.
• The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
• The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his own person.
• The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.
Four leadership strategies

Six leadership myths
1: Leadership is a rare skill
2: Leaders are born, not made
3: Leaders are charismatic
4: Leadership only exists at the top of an organization

📚 RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books - perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.
So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:

This was incredible pack of information and training. The best one was the note on how to differentiate a leader from a manager very critically by the roles they play such as Manager - administers and a leader innovates or a manager is a copy and a leaders originates.
The second piece of amazing information / training was on Myths on Leadership which we experience in our day to day lives which keeps coming to challenges our lives i.e. Myths on Leadershipl Well-stated and amazing clarification. (espeically Myth 4: which is Leadership exist ONLY at the top of the organization).
Thank you Dr. Mike Clayton. :) Thanks again.

Thank you for your comments - you are very welcome.
It is interesting that Warren Bennis was able to advise both Kennedy and Reagan, who were members of different American political parties. On an unrelated note, I am reading an article about companies expanding abroad for my graduate school course. It tells a funny story that in America, the word "scheme" often involves deceit, while in Great Britain that is not often the case. The American CEO kept trying to explain to the British press that he was not offering a scheme but a service instead (haha).
I suspect the level of polarization in US politics has increased since the '60s to '80s. I don't expect anyone on either side of the aisle would have doubted Kennedy's or Reagan's patriotism - nor their commitment to democracy and peaceful transitions of power. I shall delve no further into the troubled state of US politics today.
Whilst 'scheme' is (dictionary-wise) very much a neutral word here in the UK, we would certainly see it as a loaded one in common usage today. From what you say, it looks like that's one more example of US culture influencing ours - probably through entertainment media.
@@ManagementCourses Great analysis! Yes, you gave us The Beatles and other legendary bands, while we gave you The Kardashians instead. I am afraid you lost out on that unfair trade.
@@urbanlegendsandtrivia2023Ha Ha, yes. You can keep the Kardashians.
