Management Does Not Prepare You For Leadership

Leadership is often seen as being a natural progression from management. In this article Criticaleye Co-founder and Managing Director, Charlie Wagstaff, asks if this belief can put senior executives on the wrong track.

Key points include:

• As a CEO, you have to learn to cope in isolated environments; the decision made is one that only you are accountable for
• Leadership is very reliant on EQ, whereas management is much more about IQ.
• All leaders must ensure complexity is understood, however a great leader must then make what is complex, simple.
