Which do you want to be: a proficient manager or a Leader of Character? The first creates compliant employees. The second leads committed followers!

About This Quote

If you are a manager who does not believe in leadership, then you will never be able to lead others. You will be more of a leader of character than a leader of people. You will become a follower of compliance rather than of commitment. The manager is the person who creates the order without which the company would not function. The leader of character is someone who creates an atmosphere in which everyone can rise to their full potential. In our times, few people really understand the difference between the two.
