Congratulations! You lean into leadership activities while continuing to keep a hand in management. This indicates you spend a bit more time establishing direction and motivating change than tackling day-to-day operational targets. This balance is in line with more senior leaders and experienced professionals.

Leadership is about creating value. Management is about counting value. 

Leadership is about coping with change. Management is about coping with complexity. 

Both are essential skills when shepherding a team or organization through growth, uncertainty or both. 

Self-reflection

• Do you lean towards management activities or leadership activities?

• What does that say about your personal comfort level with leadership? With management?

• Are there leadership activities you would like to do more of – what is holding you back?
