Leader vs manager – we tend to use these two words interchangeably. However, in my opinion, leaders don’t have to be managers, and managers are not always leaders.

Strive to be a leader first, and manager second. Also as importantly, lead yourself first, before you try to lead others. I hope you find the leadership articles I’ve written here useful.

2023 could be the most challenging year for leaders. Don’t just hope to survive. Thrive in your leadership role by gaining the essential foundational skills and strategies. Learn about 12 essential leadership competencies for the modern workforce from this Leadership Planner.
