Does this look familiar?
This is the imagery and message we're inundated with when it comes to leadership and organizational development.
And it's all wrong!
The trend of the day in organizational growth is leadership development. To be clear, this is a positive trend. However, when you really think about it, most employees in an organization are going to be faced with situations in which managerial skills are more appropriate. How often does an average employee need to create a vision? And yet, we don't want to swing the pendulum to the other extreme end of the spectrum with management development.

Think of a quarterback
When the time calls for it, the quarterback inspires and rallies his team in the huddle. He reminds them of their purpose on that field and aligns them to see the vision of winning. This is an example of leadership.
Also, when the time calls for it, the quarterback reads the opponent players, predicts the blitz, and adjusts the play to defend appropriately while getting the ball downfield. This is an example of management.
The effective quarterback is an excellent example of a Leadager!
