Warren Bennis, in one of his books, “On Becoming a Leader” he describes his view of the differences between managers and leaders as follows: 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 accepts reality; the leader investigates it. 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. The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader has his or her eye 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 or her own person. The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing“John P. Kotter on What Leaders Really Do” in this book John Kotter makes the following observations: “Leadership and management are two distinctive and complementary systems of action… Both are necessary for success in an increasingly complex and volatile business environment.” “Most U.S. corporations today are overmanaged and underled.” “Strong leadership with weak management is no better, and is sometimes actually worse, than the reverse.” “Management is about coping with complexity…. Without good management, complex enterprises tend to become chaotic… Good management brings a degree of order and consistency….” “Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change… More change always demands more leadership.” “Companies manage complexity by planning and budgeting, by organizing and staffing, and by controlling and problem solving. By contrast, leading an organization to constructive change involves setting a direction (developing a vision of the future and strategies to achieve the vision), aligning people, and motivating and inspiring them to keep moving in the right direction.”
