The document suggests that effective organizations need both management and leadership working in tandem. It then discusses how the concepts apply across different realms like business, politics, sports, and family.

9. Management & Leadership
• Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the
science of management says is possible.
• The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what
and why.
• The manager operates within the status quo; the
leader challenges it.
• The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader
has his eye on the horizon.
10. Learn both. Become a student of the possible
• These sayings describe
the symbiotic
relationship between
management and
leadership. A healthy
organization needs
both. Leadership is
Vision. Management is
Implementation. They
are the yin and yang of
business.

14. What you already know about
Management and Leadership
• You already run a complex enterprise
• Your style is a genuine and authentic
extension and development of your existing
personality
• Basic Skills
15. You already run a complex enterprise
• It’s called your life, and it’s about getting, spending and
saving; in business it’s called Revenues, Expenses and
Retained Earnings. You have a job where you make your
money, it gets deposited in your checking account, and you
use it to pay your bills, buy groceries and clothes, go out to
eat or a movie; and hopefully there is some left over at the
end of the month that you can put aside for a rainy day. You
manage bank accounts, checkbooks, debit and credit cards,
electronic transfer, PayPal, a mortgage or rent, car
payments, insurance, healthcare, utilities… It’s
complicated! Sometimes (most of the time) you must
make hard decisions about what you can and can’t
purchase or afford to do. You have plenty of hard-won
experience running an enterprise and have earned your
Home MBA.
16. Genuine and Authentic
• Your style is a genuine and authentic
extension and development of your existing
personality
• Be Yourself, Only More so
• Procrustes Bed
17. Be Yourself, Only More so
• In many ways running a business engages a set of activities you
perform regularly in your private life. How these activities have
impacted you and how you react to and interact with them, will
provide you with a deep understanding about what is effective and
important to you, and what is not. By taking stock of your
personality and predispositions, you can develop a business
persona and set of operating habits that are in line with your innate
strengths, interests and preferences. Model your management
vision on what you already know about yourself and not on some
abstract idea of a business executive. As you go through this self-
assessment there may be traits and behavior patterns you may
want to change in order to be more effective. Look at developing
management skills and knowledge as ways to impress your personal
stamp on the world in an effective and beneficial way, not as an
oblique strategy to impress others with your success and wealth.

29. Creative Visualization: A Remarkable Life
• A big part of being a leader is the ability to create vision and dream big. This is the ability to
brainstorm creative ideas and alternatives
• This ability comes from being disciplined at turning off your inner critic and suspending your disbelief
of what is possible. This assignment is an exercise in working those muscles. And this assignment has
an added benefit. Many people who have done this are astounded that what they write actually
comes to pass. You will be writing your future.
• This assignment is to describe in detail your life ten years from now.
• Write about what you would do and become if you knew for certain those things would come true.
Describe a truly remarkable life.
• Imagine what your life could be like if you could do anything you wanted with no fear of failure.
• Dream big! Dream without any fear.
• It's 2028. What does your life look like? What are you doing? Where are you living? Who are you
living with? Do you have pets? What kind of house are you in? Is it an apartment? Are you in the
city? The country? What does your furniture look like? What kind of clothes do you wear? Talk about
you significant other; your career. What excites you? What is your health like? What are you most
proud of
• Write this day; this one day ten years from now. What does your whole day look like? Start from the
minute you wake up, have your coffee through to when you tuck yourself in. You don't have to share
it with anyone other than yourself. Put your whole heart into it. Write like there's no tomorrow.
Write like your life depends on it, because it does.
• Keep it and read it once a year. And see what happens.
