(2) Unlike other managers who tend to portray themselves as the experts, affiliate managers/leaders should have an open mind (mindfulness). (3) While management is concerned about talking, leadership believes in improvement through listening (communication). (4) When management is often about conformity, leadership is all about nonconformity (courage). (5) Manager’s approach epitomizes insight into organization, whereas leaders practice insight into self (character).eprussakovThu, 04 Dec 2008 11:13:35 -0000http://feedfront.com/archives/affiliate-program-management-leadership-vs-management-by-geno-prussakov/#comment-3854004Great debate on Leadership vs. Management and tons of perspectives.
