Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental difference between the roles of leaders and managers. It suggests that leaders focus on making decisions and taking actions that are morally and ethically correct, aimed at directing and guiding their team or organization towards a specific vision or goal. On the other hand, managers are concerned with efficiently and effectively implementing the plans and strategies set by leaders, ensuring tasks and activities are executed to achieve objectives within the set parameters. In essence, leaders prioritize the "what" and the "why," while managers concentrate on the "how."
