Management Versus Leadership

I was collecting thoughts on the notion of the difference between management and leadership in a file on my desktop. I want to clean up my desktop so I will store them here for now.

Leadership appears when it is most needed. Management is inveterate.

Leadership benefits those who are led. Management benefits itself.

Leadership has been and will be part of the human experience for all time. Management is an invention of the industrial revulsion.

Leadership is an attribute of a person. Management is an attribute of a position.
