Overview: Most corporations these days are operated in a way that can be compared to a busload of people. Everyone on the bus is busily reading maps and road guides, and even operating the controls of the bus. Leadership and management are two sets of skills that are not always parallel or even compatible with one another at all times. Sometimes these can be achieved by including people in the "team at the top" who possess one or the other of these skill sets and take these roles. Getting the company where it needs to go takes two efforts- one to look at the map and the other to look out the windshield. All too often, the "windshield view," or view outside the organization at market trends, the competition, and the vision for the future, gets a lower priority than studying the maps and minutiae of day-to-day work. It takes both the short view (management skills) and the long view (leadership skills) to get an organization successfully where it is going.
