Congratulations! You are striking a balance between leadership and management, both of which are essential to change in your work, team and organization. As you continue to advance in your role, look for opportunities to lean into leadership – guiding strategy, aligning people, motivating others – to magnify your impact.

Leadership is about creating value. Management is about counting value. 

Leadership is about coping with change. Management is about coping with complexity. 

Both are essential skills when shepherding a team or organization through growth, uncertainty or both. 

Self-reflection

• Do you lean towards management activities or leadership activities?

• What does that say about your personal comfort level with leadership? With management?

• Are there leadership activities you would like to do more of – what is holding you back?
