  1. What is leadership? • What is leadership? What does it mean to be a leader? • What is the most important part of being a leader? • Overall, what would be the single most important trait for a leader to have? • Are good leaders born or made? • Are there any physical attributes that may contribute to a person’s success as a leader? • Do leaders make good leaders or do those who are led make the leaders good? Is a leader only as good as the people he or she is leading?

  2. Leadership vs. management Leadership: A social influence process with the intent of real changes and outcomes that reflect a shared purpose Management: the attainment of organizational goals in an effective and efficient manner through planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling organizational resources What is the primary distinction that Kotter makes between management and leadership?

  3. Management versus Leadership

  4. What do you think? Are leadership and management two distinct processes? What exactly does the author mean with regard to “aligning people”? Does the author argue that, generally, people cannot be good at both managing and leading? Do you think someone can be both a good manager and a good leader? Do you see yourself as a leader, manager, or both? Is good management or good leadership more important to the average organization?

  5. What do you think? Do you think some organizations are “overmanaged” and “underled”? What are some examples? How should management keep individual leadership in check at the workplace? I have seen my fair share of situations in which there were too many chiefs and not enough indians, and it seems to make the workplace a much more hostile environment than it needs to be. How do organizations develop leaders? How do you determine if a leader is effective?

  6. A lesson for leaders From General Colin Powell: “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help them or concluded that you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.” What do you think?
