The leardship and management

Peter Duruke

" leadership is doing the right thing, management is doing the things right "

Covey share a story about exploring a new way , the leader should climb up the tree , direct the whole team , the managers are busy with sharpening the scythe, strengthen the muscle , prepare some aid resource, the soldiers are at the front line . But when the leader tell they are in the wrong jungle , do they stop with any hesitation. First , if the team is in the wrong jungle , even they kept positive and deliegent , they means nothing . Your start determine the end "when you pick the one end , you pick up the other ". Second when the leader find they are in the wrong jungle . How does he to persuade or get the teammate noticed ? If the leader throw out the reality directly , that will hurt their feelings , or maybe their motivation and desire . So how to design the communication pattern is a decisive factor, which influence the teaming efficiency. Covey merely shares the story to prove his viewpoint that the leadership means the direction , means something that can determine the prosperity of the company or the century , at present it means little , maybe the managers are not aware of that.

For my wife , I am a husband

For my parents, I am their son

For my daughter , I am her father

For the department , I am a accountant

Usually , the common people take money , or possession, or spouse , or work , or entertainment as our centers . But these centers are unreliable and unpredictable, they belongs to the circle of our concern, so the principle center is more valuable , they are eternal .
