Don’t Be Afraid to “Manage” January 8, 2010

I’m reading a great book, “Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional” by John G Miller.
One of the chapters deals with ‘managers’ vs ‘leaders’.
We’ve come to think as managers as something less than a leader, but it takes great people skills (management) to be an outstanding leader.
As you are considering your Legacy Leadership goals, remember that communication, listening, praise, correction, training, coaching, one on one time and respect — the things that make you a great leader — are people management skills.
All you MANAGERS out there — be PROUD of WHO YOU ARE! Teach others to do what you do and you have created LEGACY LEADERSHIP.
Thanks John G Miller!
