Here’s a quick note about Leadership versus Management!
Is a good manager automatically a good leader? What is the difference between leadership and management?
A successful business owner needs to be both a strong leader and manager to get their team on board to follow them towards their vision of success. Leadership is about getting people to understand and believe in your vision and to work with you to achieve your goals while managing is more about administering and making sure the day-to-day things are happening as they should.
