"But let me find out for sure and get back to you."

Much has been written about leadership – what it is, what it isn’t, how to be better at it, how to be the best at it.

Strong leadership is critical for business success. The difference between a manager and a leader, although sometimes subtle, is extremely important. A successful organization requires both strong managers and effective leaders.

Discovering Your Strengths
"Most Americans do not know what their strengths are. When you ask them, they look at you with a blank stare, or they respond in terms of subject knowledge, which is the wrong answer." --Peter Drucker Many people never fully utilize their natural gifts because they don't find the proper way to express them in the world, or perhaps they don't even recognize the talents they have. Realized or not, we all have natural talents that we feel passionate about. These talents may feel so natural that you don't even realize how they make you unique and special. Your combined unique talents and capabilities create an experience for others that they will not be able to find anywhere else.

Teaching Large Companies To Think Like The Little Guys
The fact that innovation and entrepreneurship run rampant in smaller companies, but is often suppressed in larger companies is nothing new. Management guru Peter Drucker first addressed the issue in his 1985 book, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Drucker wrote that one of the most often-asked questions in many a 1985 boardroom was, “How can we overcome the resistance to innovation that plagues most organizations?”
The Dos and Don’ts of Innovation
In his book Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Peter Drucker put forward a few simple “hard-core” Dos and Don’ts to help companies become more innovative. How does your organization stack up against Duckers checklist?
On the Making of Great Business Leaders
When the management genius of the twentieth century, Peter Drucker, died at age 95, two very different articles about his contributions were published back to back. The first article was in Fortune magazine where he was often quoted over the years. The Fortune article pointed out 4 golden rules of management he espoused:

If it isn't Broken, Break it!
Peter Drucker stated that obsolescence must be planned into products and processes in order to stay ahead of the competition. A company or product that is stagnant only creates fertile opportunity for competition. In other words, your competition will always replicate the success you have achieved in the past. This simplified premise makes innovation the competitive advantage that most successful companies lack over sustained periods of prosperity.

Leaders Make the Difference
All organizations have access to more-or-less the same resources. They draw from the same pool of people in their markets or geographic areas. And they can all learn about the latest tools and techniques. Yet not all organizations perform equally. In fact, there is a huge gap between high-and low-performing organizations. What accounts for this? Quite simply, it's people. As the venerable Peter Drucker points out, "Of all the decisions a manager makes, none are as important as the decisions about people because they determine the performance capacity of the organization."

Leaders Put Good Intentions into Action
A recurring nightmare haunted Peter to re-examine and change the aimless and drifting course of his life. In his bad dream he was standing before a severe judge and disapproving jury. "You are charged with wasting your life," the judge bellowed harshly down to Peter standing before the high bench. "How do you plead?" Restraining himself from fleeing the courtroom, Peter was finally forced to whisper, "Guilty." He appeared ready to say more, then stood lost in thought.
