You are the custodian of the vision – “this is where we are going”.
You are the example of the behaviours – “do as I do”.
You are an effective delegator – “this is what I want you to do, this is when I want it doing, this is how I want you to tell me when it is done”.
You create environments in which the right people become self-motivated – “this is what’s in it for you”.
Leadership is not management.
Leaders lead people.
Managers manage systems.
You are a leader.
