You are a Leader

Are You Mostly “C”?

*Trailblazers set expectations based on the future and not the past, on opportunities and not limitations.

*Trailblazers have the power to transform others, organizations and society. They create positive legacies for future generations.

What Do They Mean?

individual to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute

toward the effectiveness and

success of the organizations of which

they are members.

ManagementDirecting and controlling

a group of one or more people or entities for

the purpose of coordinating and

harmonizing that group towards accomplishing

a goal.

Leadership is doing the right

things; management is

doing things right. - Peter Drucker

Inbred Management

• People cling to old ways when confronted by a new situation.

• They fail to define new goals with meaning and challenge.

• Behavior is rooted in tradition rather than need.• Institutionalized contentment: activity is secure and

stable, not venturesome.• Old "wisdom" is passed on to new people with

antiquated approaches and methods.• Low tolerance for criticism acts to stifle independent

thinking.

leader focuses on people5. The manager relies on control;

7. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks why and why not?

8. The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader has his or her eye on the horizon

9. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
