The author makes a critical assessment of the difference between being a leader & being a manager. He sees managers as folks who manage things & have little power, credibility, or influence over their subordinates, while leaders lead people & are sensitive to both the company demands & the needs of their followers & workers. The book shows leadership starting where management leaves off, or cannot assimilate into a people-oriented supervisory system. Dr. Knox says, "Leadership is a process of growth that has a vision of improving what is already in place; leadership is grounded in disciplined & focused passion." This text is rich in example & explanation, yet written in a light-hearted fashion.Knox, Dahk is the author of 'Common Sense Leadership' with ISBN 9781881116042 and ISBN 1881116042.
