Sparks: The Hidden Danger of Separating Leadership from Management (And how to truly bridge the gap)

We've made a huge leadership mistake and chances are, your organization is still making it. We've separated managers and leaders like they're different species. One is focused on processes. The other on people. But that separation might be the very thing keeping your teams disengaged and your company stuck. In today's Leadership Spark, I'm busting the outdated myth that leadership and management are two separate roles. I share a powerful story of a nuclear submarine captain that perfectly illustrates what happens when we train leaders to lead but forget to teach them how to manage. You'll hear why giving managers leadership training won't fix your 'people' problem and why the opposite approach just might.
