8. What is the difference between management and leadership?
Warren Bennis tells us that:
"Managers do things right, leaders do the right things."
This is nicely captured by the story of 2 guides directing a party of
sightseers through a dense forest. One is busy with the maps, finding the best
route, pointing out the different sorts of trees and generally keeping the
party together. "Let’s keep going!" he shouts. "We’re on the
right track". The other guide, however, has wandered off and, after
looking around, has climbed a tall tree just ahead of the party. He looks out
over the landscape and shouts down, "Hey! We’re in the wrong forest!"
