The Managerial Mystique, Restoring Leadership In Business, addresses why managers do what they do. Dr. Zaleznik describes and illustrates the differences between managers and leaders.
Of great significance is how managers and leaders advance in their careers. Managers general do not take chances and seldom allow themselves to fail. Leaders on the other hand will try, fail, and try again while learning from each mistake. This one difference helps explain why management is so reluctant to change, i.e., risk a failure, there are too few leaders and too many managers.
Managers enforce rules and procedures whereas the leaders asks questions like; "What should we be doing?", "Where are we headed?" and "How do we get there?" The difference is very important because managers will ensure that we get to where we are headed but we may not want to be there when we get there.
VISION -- We need leaders with vision.
