Leadership isn’t a job title. Management is. 🧭"

Leadership isn’t a job title. Management is. 🧭" " “Let’s clear something up: Leadership and management get mixed around like synonyms, but they’re different concepts. Sometimes they overlap, but they’re not the same.” " “Here’s the thing:” “✅ Anyone can lead – Influence, inspire, take ownership. That’s leadership.” “✅ Managers manage – Hire, budget, execute. That’s a specific job.” " “But here’s the trap: When we act like “leadership” is code for “managers only,” we tell the rest of the team: “Your voice doesn’t matter; leave this to us.”” “Worse? We end up with managers who manage processes but don’t lead people. And teams waiting for permission instead of stepping up.” " “📚 A book that puts this greatly is “Turn the ship around!”, by L. David Marquet. A submarine captain flipped the script on the traditional “leader-follower” model—where only the person at the top “leads”—and instead built a “leader-leader” culture. His secret? Leadership wasn’t about authority. It was about empowering everyone to make decisions, regardless of rank. The result? A crew that didn’t just follow orders… they owned outcomes.” " “Next time you hear, “I would like a leadership position, but I have no team to manage 🙁” remember this vital difference and encourage anyone to lead from wherever they are. " " “Leadership isn’t reserved or limited. It should be spread and encouraged to grow anywhere in your teams 💪. As leaders, we must make sure that everyone at the “edges of the organization” has the right context to keep alignment with the shared goals and mission, and information to decide by themselves.” " “#Leadership #Management #Empowerment #TurnTheShipAround
