Manager & Leader
Purpose
Explore the tension between managing operations and leading people
How to Use
1. Introduce Kotter's distinction: managers administer complexity (planning, organising, controlling), leaders cope with change (setting direction, aligning people, motivating). 2. Participants map their current activities against the Manager vs Leader framework. 3. Identify where they are over-indexed on management and under-indexed on leadership (or vice versa). 4. Design specific shifts in time allocation and behaviour.
