The difference between Management and Leadership is  coping with complexity.    Without good management, complex enterprises tend to become chaotic in ways that threaten their very existence.  Good management brings a degree of order and consistency to key dimensions. 

Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change.  The business world has become more competitive and more volatile.  The change always demands more leadership. Teamwork is less about me and more about we.  Consider a simple military analogy: a peacetime army can usually survive with good administration and management up and down the hierarchy, coupled with good leadership concentrated at the very top.  A wartime army, however, needs competent leadership at all levels.  This is where we are in trouble because of the purging of our military leadership.  My suggestion is for the Republican party to meet with all of these military generals and talk about the problems.  When you have hundreds of military officials who have been forced out of the military by one person – that many people can’t be wrong and one person be right!
