Remember These Key Points
z
Don’t go overboard!
•
Extremes turn leaders into 
mythical figures and managers 
into plodding bureaucrats.
z
Successful leaders must be 
good managers or have the 
support of good managers.
z
Both management and 
leadership are vital to 
successful organizations.
Show OH 11 (Remember These Key Points). 
Transition: Now that we’ve clarified the distinction between managers and 
leaders (at least 
somewhat
