Hi, David - thanks for an great post.

As the old saying goes:  "From your lips to God's ear."

I hope that your clear and thoughtful analysis of the overlay between leadership and management helps move us past the discussions around this.   We need to spend our energy and time focusing on how effective leaders manage, how effective managers lead, and how to understand which is needed at a given time.

I will admit that I see more of folks gravitating toward one role or the other, than the leader who "hires" management to cover all those little details of keeping the railroad running.

Regardless, I appreciate your contributions here and elsewhere toward clarity in working with others as an influencer, whatever we call it:)

John
