The Differences between Managers and Leaders
In response to a Harvard Business Review article by Abraham Zaleznik in 1977, Bennis articulated his famous set of comparisons between a manager and a leader, in the book ‘On Becoming a Leader’ – https://geni.us/0kBWVb
• The manager administers; the leader innovates.
• The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
• The manager maintains; the leader develops.
• The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
• The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
• The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
• The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
• Managers have their eyes on the bottom line; leaders have their eyes on the horizon.
• The manager imitates; the leader originates.
• The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
• The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his own person.
• The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.

Four leadership strategies
1: Attention through Vision
2: Meaning through Communication
3: Trust through Positioning
4: The Deployment of Self

Six leadership myths
1: Leadership is a rare skill
2: Leaders are born, not made
3: Leaders are charismatic
4: Leadership only exists at the top of an organization
5: The leader controls, directs, prods, manipulates
6: The leader’s sole job is to increase shareholder value

📚 RECOMMENDED READING
There are a vast number of Leadership books – perhaps more than on any other management-related topic. And there is also a huge range represented in different lists of the best. This no-doubt reflects the different contexts for leadership.

So, any recommended reading list of leadership books must be particularly subjective. I have chosen those that made me think, and which are of particular value to managerial leaders: not sportspeople, military leaders, or CEOs. In no particular order:
