Leadership is the foundation of effective management, but let’s not get it twisted—these roles are not the same. Leadership is about inspiring your team, pushing them towards a mission, a shared vision. Management is about executing—planning, organizing, and getting the job done. But when you combine leadership with management, that’s when you truly excel.Leadership alone won't cut it. You’ve got to be organized, know how to delegate, and lock in on the details. Without these, you might keep things running, but you won’t achieve long-term success. In a high-pressure environment, where team morale and cohesion are critical, leadership isn’t optional—it’s essential.Next, we should discuss the types of leadership that make you a better manager—that's a whole different challenge.

This may just be a definition thing and not a full disagreement, but there are people out there that are called “Managers” that truly only manage things. They interface with a spreadsheet. Yes, it’s good to be a good leader. But leveraging these people as managers of things is ok. I don’t feel like they need to be transformed in a leader of people to continue in their manager role.

Many companies promote great workers into management without giving them the leadership skills they need to succeed; all too often, that leads to misery and, worse, people leaving their jobs. You manage things like systems, orders, and projects, as a leader you lead people!

What people tend to miss is that to be a good leader, you have to start with leading YOU. You have to be a solid follower before you will make a good leader or manager…
