Summary

This quote emphasizes the difference between leadership and management. Leadership is about setting priorities and making sure that the most important tasks are given top priority.

It involves the ability to follow through on plans, ensuring that they are implemented successfully. Ultimately, effective leadership and management are both vital for achieving success by combining the clarity of purpose with efficient execution.
