A manager’s or leader’s job is to bring out the best in other people while accomplishing the organization’s goals.
You don’t want to accomplish goals while (or by) killing the spirit of your team members, because you’ll reduce the chances of doing well tomorrow.
Accomplish goals while at the same time improving your team’s ability to accomplish goals tomorrow.
That’s good leadership.
Good morning from the Garden Sate,Larry! Spring officially arrives today!
Win everyday.
Larry – I always enjoy reading your Think Daily’s and often start my day with them. This particular post got me thinking about using the word Manager vs Leader. I am curious, do you have a take on the difference between a manager and leader? Our organization does and specifically looks for “leaders”, at least based on our definition. Curious of your thoughts!
(I realize these are often interchangeable words but it can spark a good discussion too!)
