I will be back with my 10cents in my next post.

Are you a Leader or a Manager ?

Good post from Bruce Lynn, good consolidation of those 2 dimentions.

1. Leaders optimise the upside; Managers minimise the downside. Both together net more.
2. Leaders envision possibilities; Managers calculate probabilities. Both together win more.
3. Leaders focus on the ends; Managers focus on the means. Both together reach more.
4. Leaders focus on the what; Managers focus on the how. Both together do more.
5. Leaders prepare beyond the limits; Managers focus execution within limits. Both together perform better.
6. Leaders generate energy; Managers preserve energy. Both together energise more.
7. Leaders seize opportunities; Managers avert threats. Both together progress more.
