Manage the process, lead the people.
When running a business, both leadership and management are important for success. Many times we use these terms interchangeably; however, they do have different meanings.
Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.
The difference between leadership and management is always a question: which one is best for success?
The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.
Proper leadership is important for the direction and success of the organization.
You don’t lead by hitting people over the head – that’s assault, not leadership.
For businesses to thrive, sometimes leaders need to make tough decisions. But tough does not mean tearing someone down; rather, it’s being firm while maintaining dignity.
One thing I knew for sure is that nobody responds badly to kindness. It’s one of the most underrated qualities a leader can embrace.
When thinking about leadership in business, thoughts of vision, inspirational and bold come to mind.
Productivity = creating value and delivering it to people. All other busywork is unproductive fluff and should be minimized.
Challenges to business success come in the form of busywork. Yet many times our business leaders and frontline employees look at safety as just that: busywork.
