005 | Leadership vs Management: How They Differ and Why It Matters

Season #1

Unpack the essential differences between leadership and management and how mastering both can empower you in your personal and professional life. We explore key theories on leadership as a driver of change and management as a stabilizer, and bring these concepts to life with the dynamic story of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook at Apple. Listeners will learn when to adopt a leadership mindset versus a management approach, and how to apply these skills through self-coaching (management) and self-leadership (vision). Dr. McDonnell shares practical strategies for navigating common pitfalls in each area, helping you balance big-picture vision with structured planning for a well-rounded approach to success.
