Leadership Skills
Leadership is the way in which we provide and inculcate in others a direction and a clarity of purpose. Management is how we go about achieving those ends. Both involve the input of others; in the accurate assessment of the current situation and the recognition of where we wish to be, thereafter, planning how those goals are to be achieved. The flow of information (feeling, thinking and knowing) should be a two way process giving rise to a common belief. The skills possessed by those involved in assuring the success of any organisation should be the soft skills of winning over hearts and minds, and the hard skills of controlling the process.
Senge believed that managers and leaders sometimes 'expect shared visions to emerge from an organisation's strategic planning process. But for all the same reasons that 'top down' visioning processes fail, most strategic planning fails to nurture genuine vision'.
