002: The Difference Between Management and Leadership

<p>On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. For Episode Two, I break down the <em>management </em>and <em>leadership </em>concepts.</p> <p><strong>00:06 Prologue: What Experts Get Wrong about </strong><em><strong>Management </strong></em><strong>and </strong><em><strong>Leadership</strong></em></p> <p>When I searched for videos about how management and leadership differ, I found several experts who don’t get these concepts.</p> <p><strong>02:33 Part 1: What is management?</strong></p> <p>I define and discuss the types of management. Then, I share a definition by Mary Parker Follet. I conclude by making the case that there is no similarity or overlap in meaning between <em>management </em>and <em>leadership</em>.</p> <p><strong>04:54 Part 2: What is leadership?</strong></p> <p>I admit it: I messed up. Starting Part 2, I say I’m going to explain how traditional and contemporary leadership differ, but I don’t talk about traditional leadership. I should have said that traditional leadership is like management with several assumptions that tend to be harmful. In other episodes, I’ll talk about these assumptions.</p> <p>In this part, I explain what <em>leadership </em>is. I share a story about two cashiers to distinguish the difference between <em>process </em>and <em>practice </em>(the difference is relevant and worth knowing, especially if you ever create process maps). I end by sharing how L. David Marquet explains what <em>leadership </em>is.</p> <p><strong>12:13 Part 3: The critics</strong></p> <p>There is no standard or agreed-upon definition of <em>leadership</em>, and I have some notable critics. I explain and respond to some of their arguments.</p> <p>_________________________________</p> <p><strong>How You Can Support the Show</strong></p> <p>Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.
