Leverage

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.”
-Peter Drucker

“Leadership is about achieving a goal through a team. To achieve a goal, a team needs help – help to gain resources and to remove obstacles. Leadership boils down to a choice – a choice to provide the help that the team needs in order to reach its goal. The choice to lead comes from an emotional commitment to the goal. No matter the degree of rational thought that developed the goal itself, in the end, the leader must emotionally believe that the goal is worth the effort, pain, and sacrifice such a journey requires.”
-Jack Kahl

It is said that managers manage mountains while leaders move mountains. It is also said that managers light fires under people, but that leaders ignite a flame within them. When we truly plug into the purpose and passion that reside within ourselves and ignite the same in others, we can link our energy to theirs and wield the power of leverage. And that makes just about anything possible!
