Discuss and
Share in your chat box (3 minutes)
Are they the same?
What makes them different?
Can you be both?

3. What are you?
Let’s take a little Test to find out…

4. Are You Mostly
“A”?
You are a Manager
*Concerned with ensuring the goals of the
organization are met.
*Have the position in the organization that
gives you the authority to accomplish
objectives through others.
*Are an excellent enforcer of established
rules, while leaders forge new frontiers.

5. Are You Mostly
“B”?
You are a Leader
*Set corporate culture and establish an environment
where people can meet organizational goals.
*Concerned about motivating others.
*Set corporate direction and layout plans for meeting
or exceeding last year’s goals.
*Leaders build from the past while the trailblazer is
creating from the possibilities.

6. Are You Mostly
“C”?
You are a Trailblazer
*Trailblazers set expectations based on the future and not the
past, on opportunities and not limitations.
*Paraphrasing the words of Robert Kennedy, there are those
who look at things the way they are and ask why, while
trailblazers dream of things that never were and ask why not?
*Trailblazers have the power to transform others, organizations
and society. They create positive legacies for future generations.

8. What Do They Mean?
Leadership
The ability of an
individual to influence,
motivate, and enable
others to contribute
toward the
effectiveness and
success of the
organizations of which
they are members.
Management
Directing and controlling
a group of one or more
people or entities for
the purpose of
coordinating and
harmonizing that group
towards accomplishing
a goal.

9. Leadership is
doing the right
things;
management is
doing things
right. - Peter Drucker

10. Inbred Management
• People cling to old ways when confronted by a new
situation.
• They fail to define new goals with meaning and
challenge.
• Behavior is rooted in tradition rather than need.
• Institutionalized contentment: activity is secure and
stable, not venturesome.
• Old "wisdom" is passed on to new people with
antiquated approaches and methods.
• Low tolerance for criticism acts to stifle independent
thinking.
