Want to build your best team ever? Join 25,000+ who receive these insights in my free newsletter: https://davidburkus.com/podcastAre you a leader or a manager? I get this question all the time and I’m finally breaking down the debate and why the distinction might not be as important as people think. We’re diving into what separates leaders from managers—and why the best bosses are a combination of both. I’ll share stories of famous leaders like Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, and cautionary tales like Adam Neumann at WeWork, to show why leadership without management is risky—and why management without vision can fall flat.The truth is, great leadership comes from building strong managerial skills, and great managers need to learn to inspire beyond the task list. Whether you’re new to a leadership role or looking to sharpen your skills, this video will help you see where you fit and how to balance leadership with management.00:00 Leaders vs. Managers00:25 I'm David Burkus00:43 What We Get Wrong About This Question01:54 Definition Time:Manager vs. Leader02:50 The Journey from Manager to Leader 04:28 Actions You Can Take to Grow into a Leader (Naturally)//ABOUT DAVIDOne of the world’s leading business thinkers, David Burkus’ forward-thinking ideas and bestselling books are helping leaders and teams do their best work ever.He is the best-selling author of four books about business and leadership.
