Managers and Leaders

I’m a big believer in managing and leading being different things.

It is easy to spot a natural leader by the unspoken command they have, that is born out of respect.

Managers who are not also leaders have to rely on their authority to get this respect… but that type of obedience (for the lack of a better word) is shallow and is destined to lead to resentment.

Leaders who don’t have the authority, but still are shown that level of respect are the ones I most enjoy watching work.
