Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things

✔ Peter Drucker famously said, “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” This distinction lies at the heart of every successful organization.


✔ Think of managers as skilled conductors, expertly orchestrating existing processes. They ensure efficiency, maximize output, and keep the train running smoothly.


✔ Leaders, on the other hand, are visionary navigators. They chart the course, identify new opportunities, and inspire teams to strive towards ambitious goals. They ask “why” and “where to” while managers ask “how” and “how well.”


✔ Both roles are crucial. But in today’s dynamic landscape, effective leadership stands out. It’s about adapting to change, embracing innovation, and inspiring collective action towards a shared vision.


✔ So, are you managing or leading? Challenge yourself to push beyond efficiency and explore the uncharted territory of “doing the right things.” Your team, and your organization, will thank you for it.
