Today’s managers are not leaders, they are people in charge and nothing more. They don’t necessarily have the skills to lead, don’t get me wrong they may be a very good manager.

business today. After reading the book there were three parts that really stood out for me. Chapter 3: Cultivate managers who share your vision was the most important chapter to me. It talks about putting the right managers in the right positions. Welch says, “What we are looking for…are leaders… who can energize, excite, and control rather than enervate, depress, and control” (p. 35).

With all of these expectations, when you actually have time to spend with your employees? That is the question that many managers have. Unfortunately, I do not have the answer, but I can share with you how touching base with your employees will save you time in the long run. Touching base with your employees to review projects and tasks
difference between a manager and a leader is that the manager “finds himself quite willing to take risk, but seemingly afraid to take the risk of being different.” That being true, a manager will always be reactive instead of proactive. A true leader will be proactive. He will embrace change and will look for ways to differentiate himself and his company from the competition.

They even have certain holidays such as Valentine’s day that test the popularity of the managers by the amount of gifts that they receive. The manager’s whole career
