3.  Leadership is the ability to inspire support
and confidence among the people who
are needed to achieve company goals.
 Management is the coordination of
human, material, technological, and
financial resources needed for an
organization to reach its goal.

4. "Control is not leadership;
management is not leadership;
leadership is leadership. If you
seek to lead, invest at least 50% of
your time in leading yourself—your
own purpose, ethics, principles,
motivation, conduct. Invest at
least 20% leading those with
authority over you and 15%
leading your peers."
