Ok, you’re inspiring, focussed on success, driving progress with self-belief and integrity - there’s no-one with more belief and courage than you. You’re a Leader.
But there’s this thing called Management. Can I be good at that as well ? The answer is Yes: but you need to accept that Management is completely different from Leadership.
Great Managers have four characteristics:
Grip of detail: they know their numbers, and are never caught out on facts
Work through their people: they’re not self-appointed universal task experts, they delegate tasks for others to achieve
Clear task definition and co-ordination: they think through plans and remove ambiguity – everyone knows what’s expected of them by when
Perseverance: they approach all tasks the same, with an unswerving determination
Above all, management is measurable: every step is planned and can be counted. No small challenge, but no-one ever said it was going to be easy !
