In difficult times, the difference between leaders and managers comes to light. Managers are just increasing the pressure by placing additional requirements on the existing non-performing organizations – countries, governments, companies of any kind - without any serious change in their minds. On the other hand, leaders have the courage to unlock the human potential to radically rethink the way we operate our organizations and finally our planet. Leaders realize that the root cause for which we are in this situation is the way we are (dis) organizing ourselves, while managers still thrive to prop up these existing systems that brought us to this situation.
