Not only were the people you asked not leaders, they weren't managers, either. And I hope you pop back with or without the thought. Simon, leadership should be an integral part of an organization and so-called leadership skills are a necessary part of every manager’s toolbox if, that is, he wants to productively manage today’s workforce.

Not only were the people you asked not leaders, they weren’t managers, either.

I think the real issue here is that people don't really know (or agree) what leadership means and it ends up becoming interchangeable with management. On a forum earlier this week I asked a group of 'leaders' what they did to inspire their people to engage in the performance review process. One response I got was, "make it one of their objectives". 'Nuff said. Good luck on your quest, I'll pop back in if I have a suitable creative thought. Hi Miki,

No insults meant, but that just becomes more industry hype. I'd like a new term because it's possible that if there was an alternative then 'leader' might regain some of it's meaning. But it would have to have widespread, high profile usage and that isn't very likely. But one can dream:) Hi Simon, I don’t think an acronym does it.
