SO true. Many "leaders" are just people managers. And this title says all. In my opinion you can manage budgets, finance, products, projects, etc. But you should lead people. Not manage them. They aren't just an asset on a balance sheet, even if some see it like that.

Well said, Peter! As one tagline put it—I think it was from the company 15Five—"humans, not resources."

Appreciate the way you differentiate between leading people and managing business. Business grows from healthy relationships
