It’s been said that leadership is doing the right things and management is about doing things right. Quite honestly, as entrepreneurs, we have to be BOTH and that can get confusing since these roles require different skill sets. Leaders instil their vision in others and motivate them to take ownership of their part. A great manager, on the other hand, is tasked with making it happen by using the vision to guide them on execution. How can we juggle all these hats? That’s exactly what the experts in this issue of Brand You Magazine are here to do, by helping us to stretch and act in different capacities and to learn skills that we might not have or master. They will offer us insights into what successful leadership really means, how to build a great team and teach us how to adjust our mindsets to think more strategically about our actions, analyse the implications of our decisions, and so much more.
