CHAPTER 2 - MANAGING YOURSELF AND LEADING OTHERS
CHAPTER 2
MANAGING YOURSELF AND LEADING OTHERS
My question to you is would you want to work for a leader who can’t manage or a manager who can’t lead? It’s not an either/or, it’s a both.
Stefan Stern, Director of Strategy, Edelman
A great deal of time, effort and debate has been devoted to separating ‘management’ from ‘leadership’.
I want to reunite the two concepts, which can live very happily together. Leaders need strong and up-to-date management skills, and if they are to be effective in their roles, managers need to understand how to get others to follow them.
In today’s flatter, less hierarchical structures, the boundaries of leadership and management are becoming increasingly blurred. Organisations need strong leadership at the helm, but they also need all their managers to take personal responsibility for motivating and empowering their teams.
