Script prompt:
“Much is made about the differences between management and leadership. In many of the great contributors like Peter Sanjay and Jim Collins, John Kotter, Peter Drucker, they say a lot about this. At the core is a description about different processes used for each of these terms. In fact, all of us can use either of these processes, management or leadership. In fact, we can use both of them at different times, but here’s a truth that’s worth thinking about. Most people that have a significant responsibility inside an organization have a strong preference for using one of these two processes. Ironically, organizations that experience a great deal of growth must instill management systems to keep the train from running off the track. Things like manufacturing systems or performance management systems, accounting, total quality kinds of things, these are all examples of management systems, and they’re are necessary to stabilize the organization. However, when organizations such as these successful in growing organizations face a landscape, a business environment that changes rapidly then they have to change, but changing these management processes is made particularly difficult because of past successes. People with a preference for stability, for order have taken on the management of the organization. They really don’t want to change, they don’t want to take risks that are going to disrupt the success that these managerial practices have brought to the organization, so enter the need for leadership. And at its core, what distinguishes leadership from management is driving for change. Not incremental change, not let’s sell 10% more or let’s reduce cost by 5%. It’s about entering new markets or rethinking your business completely or creating and manufacturing the iPhone when no consumer research called for such an item. Leaders change things, that’s what they do. They envision a new way of seeing the world and they move toward it, and they convince other people to move toward it as well, and it’s risky. In fact, they often fail. However, when a leader does not convince others that there’s a sense of urgency, if they don’t explain why the change is needed right now, and if they don’t build a coalition of others to support them, these leaders are likely to be removed from their positions of responsibility fairly quickly. Here are a few things to consider. Do you believe you have a preference for leading or for managing? What makes you say so? What is needed most in our organizations today, more leadership or more management, and why? What would cause a leader, someone exhibiting leadership behaviors, to fail in your organization or to succeed? And how can organizations use leadership or management to guide their success in the future? Now, after you’ve spent a little time reflecting on this questions, please join your peers in the online discussion. I’m very eager to hear what you have to say. “
