Elsewhere I’ve written, “Every leader should be a manager, and every manager should be a leader.” Sometimes, however, you can draw a distinction (at least as a matter of emphasis). A manager can sometimes be more focused on the work getting done. A leader will often be more focused on the people “getting done.”
You can use your people to build your organization or you can use your organization to build your people. Focus on the former and you will truly achieve the later. Thus, in every choice you have between solving a problem, or building a “problem-solver”, build a “problem-solver.”
