We've chatted a bit about this and I'm still not sure that management and leadership should be so clearly divided (in line with what biz guru Henry Mintzberg always used to say (eg, http://www.management-issues.com/2009/10/5/mentors/henry-mintzberg-on-leadership-vs-management.asp). It's true that computers/tech are taking on a lot of managerial functions, but the future's so unevenly distributed, that I wouldn't write off "managers" just yet. Look forward to reading your blog post on Trompenaars' four corporate cultures and the leadership necessary for each. Just been reading about his work here (thanks for the hat tip): http://changingminds.org/explanations/culture/trompenaars_four_cultures.htm Thanks Benjamin.

So many business leaders are managers: do this, do that. Social Media and Social Business is about leadership: I'm going this way. I believe in this thing - And that is the Moses Method. You can't lead an army (or a large business) via focus groups. Ironically I’d say businesses are suffering from a lack of the Moses method. So many business leaders are managers: do this, do that.
