“There is a striking difference between. . .”

“There is a striking difference between the situation of political leaders and that of line executives in business or government. They are supposed to accept their superiors in the hierarchy as their leaders; but, of course, quite often they don’t.

The assumption by line executives that, given their rank and authority, they can lead without being leaders is one reason bureaucracies stagnate. Executives are given subordinates, but they cannot be given a following.

Surprisingly, many of them don’t even know they are not leading. They mistake the exercise of authority for leadership, and as long as they persist in that mistake they will never learn the art of turning subordinates into followers.”
