Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between leadership and management. It suggests that leadership involves setting the right direction, while management focuses on facilitating the execution and coordination necessary to reach that goal. The workers represent those actively engaged in the tasks, while managers ensure efficiency and resources are optimized. However, the leaders are the ones who possess the perspective to step back, assess the situation, and provide guidance. Their ability to challenge the status quo, question assumptions, and redirect efforts when necessary distinguishes them from managers solely focused on progress without considering whether it is in the right direction.
