Thanks for sharing your post Bruce.  "Leadership is glorified and management" is vilified is most certainly the extreme end of this myth.  I see your point that Bennis actually distinguished "bad leadership" not management.

You also amplified for me the importance of being mindful in the way we distinguish things, especially when it comes to the short hand phrases we use.  Those phrases are often what sticks and without context it can too easily be misconstrued and even do damage.
