I am pondering the distinction between leadership and management.
Managers create, monitor and measure systems.
Leaders inspire people.
Many of my clients in dentistry are poor at management (they have few measurable systems) and do no leadership at all.
A few of them are excellent managers with robust systems.
A small minority are leaders.
Your business requires systems.
Your people want leadership.
