Leadership vs Management

Posted by stephens on Aug 30, 2009 in Rants, Tips & Techniques | 0 comments

The level of incompetence in this business never seems to decrease over time.

I am talking about the humans that are in a position of management. Strike that. They are in the position of leadership, but provide none.

Leaders create a vision for the future and set achievable goals for the organization to live by.

Instead, management does not focus on the important things, like creating widgets the customer wants to buy and selling those widgets. Make stuff. Sell stuff. Out-perform and out-innovate your competition along the way. That is the bottom line.

Yet, management is stereotypically consumed with micro-managing the business. Kindergarteners have more creative freedom and vision from their teachers.

Lead. Follow. Or get the fuck out of the way.
