Leadership Is Different From Management

"Management is not something you do to other people. You manage your inventory, your checkbook, your resources. You can even manage yourself. But you do not manage other human beings. You manage things, you lead people." TheServant, p.28

From OnBecomingaLeader, p.45:

People much prefer being led than being managed.

Leadership is about guidance and support, Management is about direction and control.

Managers try to create the Thing; good Leaders create the Environment.
