Authors like Joseph Kotter, Warren Bennis or Peter Drucker introduced a first differentiation between the roles of leaders and managers in the nineties.<\/p>\n<p>Leadership and Management go hand in hand. They are not the same, but they are necessarily linked and complementary. Any effort to separate the two is likely to cause more problems than it solves. Still, much ink has been used delineating the differences. The manager\u2019s job is to plan, organize and coordinate. The leader\u2019s job is to inspire and motivate.<\/p>\n<p>In his 1989 book \u2018On Becoming a Leader\u2018, Warren Bennis composed a list of the differences:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The manager administers; the leader innovates.<\/li>\n<li>The manager maintains; the leader develops.<\/li>\n<li>The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.<\/li>\n<li>The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.<\/li>\n<li>The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.<\/li>\n<li>The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.<\/li>\n<li>The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader\u2019s eye is on the horizon.<\/li>\n<li>The manager imitates; the leader originates.<\/li>\n<li>The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And in 1990, Joseph Kotter drew a clear distinction on 3 levels:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Perhaps there was a time when the calling of the manager and that of the leader could be separated. A foreman in an industrial-era factory probably didn\u2019t have to give much thought to what he was producing or to the people who were producing it. His or her job was to follow orders, organize the work, assign the right people to the necessary tasks, coordinate the results, and ensure the job got done as ordered. The focus was on efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>But in the new economy, where value comes increasingly from the knowledge of people, and where workers are no longer undifferentiated cogs in an industrial machine, management and leadership are not easily separated. People look to their managers, not just to assign them a task, but to define for them a purpose. And managers must organize workers, not just to maximize efficiency, but to nurture skills, develop talent and inspire results. The late management guru Peter Drucker was one of the first to recognize this truth, as he was to recognize so many other management truths. He identified the emergence of the \u201cknowledge worker,\u201d and the profound differences that would cause in the way business was organized. With the rise of the knowledge worker, \u201cone does not \u2018manage\u2019 people,\u201d Peter Drucker wrote. \u201cThe task is to lead people.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime it became a reality that in our world of business we very often have both roles \u2013 we are predominantly managers and also have a leadership task. The challenge is how to maintain a productive balance between the two roles. The day to day business very often has the tendency to eat us up and the leadership role needs a conscious effort to attend to it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
