Leadership is not about management. Leadership is about vision, change, empowerment, creativity, innovation, and inspiring others. Most of all, here at the start of the 21st century, it is about transformation away from virtually every established norm, model, idea, myth and conventional wisdom that guided prior generations of leaders. The good news is that it’s there for the taking.
