There is a huge difference between two. With management, you find people who tell you what to do but leadership inspires others and inspiration to me is the key. But now the question arises, "What does it take to inspire others?" According to me, there are three components to true inspiration.1. Clarity of Vision:What help are you trying to take, what vision do you have, what sense of purpose strides in your motivation, and what do you see in other people that others are not seeing? The clearer you can be about these, the more easily you can understand a lot of people. 2. The Courage for Intervention: If you are a visionary, you are going to see something that other people do not see or feel threatened by because it can potentially disrupt the way they focus. You have to believe in what you are doing, you have to believe in your vision which truly every founder follows and that conviction provides courage to other people to pursue the same vision. 3. Ability to communicate the required Information:To be able to evangelize to people in a way they can easily understand what you are trying to accomplish.It is not so much about effective leadership as it is about the kind of talent I work for.
