Managers minimise downside risk. Both together complement each other for an optimised exective. This distinction lies at the heart of the difference of the two concepts. Five examples of how this plays out include... 1. Leaders plant; Managers weed. Both together yield the greatest harvest. 2. Leaders create the Will, Managers maintain the Rhythm. Both together move the organisation forward. 3. Leaders are Star Players who bring that little bit extra, Managers are Soul Players who embody and preserve the spirit. Both together form Super Teams. 4. The Leader champions rights; The Manager fosters responsibilities. Both together promote a civic harmony. 5. The Leader is the first man out of the trenches onto the battlefield; The Manager is the last man over the bridge off the battlefield. Both together ensure committed and cohesive fight for a cause. Leadership maximise upside opportunity.
