Managers vs Leaders...................................

     Central to his thinking was a distinction between managers and leaders.  Managers are people who like to do things right, he argued.  Leaders are people who do the right thing.  Managers have their eye on the bottom line.  Leaders have their eye on the horizon.  Managers help you get where you want to go.  Leaders tell you what it is you want.  He chastised business schools for focusing on the first at the expense of the second.  People took MBAs, he said, not because they wanted to be middle managers but because they wanted to be chief executives.  He argued that "failing organisations are usually over-managed and under-led."
