Key take aways are that management is to focus on a task or process while leadership is focused on individuals and inspiration. Managers are great and maintaining the status quo and ensuring that day to day operations are done efficiently. Managers are stuck in their own tasks and do not distract themselves with other issues outside of what was outlined for them. Leaders on the other hand seek out opportunities to empower others and aim to long-term change and growth.

In a business context Steve Jobs could be seen as someone who was a poor manager because he did not successfully use performance incentives to drive his team to just meet deadlines. Which is one reason why he was released from Apple before coming back as a leader who inspired many of the employees to "think different".

Two approaches to adopt effective leadership would be to focus on building a culture of continuous learning by providing resources for skill development or promoting knowledge sharing amongst employees. This would be an important step to encourage experimentation and learning that will drive organizational growth and strength. A second approach would be focus on empowering employees and delegating responsibility. The strategy for this would include clearly defining expectations and goals and providing the necessary resources and support to help team members deliver positive results.
