Leadership vs Management
Management and Leadership
When Noah heard the weather forecast
he ordered the building of the ark.
That was Leadership !
Then he looked around and said,
"Make sure the elephants don't see
what the rabbits are up to."
That was Management !
Managers make sure people do as they are told
Leaders make people succeed with things they
did not consider possible
