The idea of getting people moving in the same direction appears to be an organizational problem. But what excecutives need to do is not organize people but align them.
Management is about coping with complexity. Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change.
Managers promote stability while leaders press for change, and only organizations that embrace both sides of that contradiction can thrive in turbulent times.
Leadership is different from management. Most companies today are over-managed and under-led.
