Insight from John Kotter about the difference between leadership and management.
The mistakes people make on the issue are threefold:
Mistake #1: People use the terms "management" and "leadership" interchangeably. This shows that they don't see the crucial difference between the two and the vital functions that each role plays.
Mistake #2: People use the term "leadership" to refer to the people at the very top of hierarchies. They then call the people in the layers below them in the organization "management." And then all the rest are workers, specialists, and individual contributors. This is also a mistake and very misleading.
Mistake #3: People often think of "leadership" in terms of personality characteristics, usually as something they call charisma. Since few people have great charisma, this leads logically to the conclusion that few people can provide leadership, which gets us into increasing trouble.

Really clear, short article from John Kotter. The 3 mistakes highlighted have caused enormous amount of damage, particularly the 3rd mistake, thinking of leadership in terms of personality characteristics. Delete the scoop?

This statement is a challenge: “I try to go hard on the issue and soft on the person.” Leadership, character, and integrity are skills required to keep focus.
5 leadership ideas:
Idea 1: Balance the emphasis on the issue with showing empathy to the person. Idea 2: Focus on the right words – speaking and hearing. Idea 3: Be fully present. Idea 4: Keep repeating – solve the issue, solve the issue, solve the issue. Idea 5: Let go. Via ThinDifference Delete the scoop?

Leaders without heart are well manicured cemeteries, pretty to look at but full of dead bones. Everything is cold technique and dead strategy apart from heart.
“True meaning” grows hearts. Find purpose; find heart.
