In the podcast episode I mentioned a saying, something like, “management is about doing the right things, and leadership is about doing things right.”

This is attributable to Warren G. Bennis, (who, BTW, is interviewed on the LeadershipTraq podcast in episode 3), with the actual quote being: “Managers have as their goal to do things right. Leaders have as their goal to do the right thing.”

I found this in Richard Nixon’s 1982 book, “Leaders,” in the first chapter. I’ve had this book for a number of years now and have read bits and pieces of it previously, and while prepping for this episode on leadership, I was inspired to read it from the beginning. Tonight I finished up to the second chapter on Winston Churchill – quite a fascinating read!
