Leaders vs. Managers: New Series at b5media Blog Leadership Turn

I’m totally psyched about the new series Miki Saxon is launching at b5 Business Channel blog Leadership Turn. Here’s what Miki has to say about her 7-part comparison of leaders versus managers:
Anyone can be a leader. Leadership isn’t what you do, it’s who you are. Real leadership isn’t something you announce you’re doing—it’s pronounced as done in the eye of the beholder.
Leadership and management are recognized as separate, but I believe that the model has changed since Warren Bennis defined 13 differences in "On Becoming a Leader."
I’m starting a conversation at www.LeadershipTurn.com that will look at his 13 differences in light of today’s workforce. I’d love to have you all participate.
The first part of the series is up now at Leadership Turn and there are already some great comments. Check it out!

im so glad you brought this up as we are currently being recruited for management at my company, although I don’t know if I’m ready for it, although I am confident in my leadership skills. Thanks for the look on this.
Aww, go for it, girl!
Thanks Kristen, I truly hope that your readers will add their comments. It’s a subject I passionately believe would benefit from a rousing discussion.
NIcole, think back to the best managers you’ve had and also remember what the worst managers did. Then emulate the former, avoid the latter, and remember that if you wouldn’t want it done to you, you shouldn’t do it to them.
