Susan, thanks for the invitation to post the link to the blog on senior management teams. Here it is: http://www.corpgrowingpains.com/wp/2010/09/who-makes-a-good-senior-management-team/

You are quite right about your mum. I was going to say that perhaps management is a skill used within organised groups, but then I thought of myself managing my own household, which is a household of one.

I still believe that management is internal, and linked to actions and activities (as broad terms, including results) where leadership covers the spectrum of internal and external and is linked to values and vision. But that may all just be because of my own definitions.

Cheers, geoff
