I am a GM and I found the information extremely well thought out. Thank you for such an enriching post. I would like to make a specific comment concerning managers. Managers should aspire to become good leaders. A good leader can inspire even though he or she may lack management skills, but a good manager must be able to lead. Managers tend to forget that subordinates look to managers for leadership. Managers enforce policy and reinforce the organizations vision, but to be truly affective a manager should be viewed as a leader of the caouse and not just an inforcer of policy. Thank again for the great post. Best Regards, John Hello Geno,

Leadership and management should <em>never</em> be considered "polar opposites". It is never a case of an "either... or..." situation, but always a "both... and..." setup where one compliments and enriches the other ...with leadership qualities always taking precedence.

I have done some empirical research on the leadership-management distinction and wonder what your thoughts are about the possibility of "too much" differentiation between the two. I have found that they actually share many "core" competencies in common such as coordinating others, developing subordinates, acting with integrity, and improving the performance of a team. While there are some unique competencies (e.g., leadership = vision, management = controlling), they do not appear to be polar opposites. In fact, Bass in his theory of transformational leadership theory constantly reiterates the importance of transactional leadership behaviors. It forms the "base" from which transformational leadership can grow. A vision is needed, but the leader must also create performance-reward contingencies in order to ensure that followers are still effectively completing their work. I fear without further confirmation of distinct "types," many businesses will actually come to view managers as two different people. Perhaps it is the case that excellent leaders tend to have what it takes to be excellent managers and vice-versa, given that the manager has his/her own unique passions and visions. Dear Geno,
