On Management by Steve Jobs

• Management is about persuading people


to do things they do not want to do……,

• Steve Jobs
• Is it Leadership or Management?
How is Leadership is Different from
Management?
• 1. Process vs. Vision
• Effective leadership is centered on a vision to guide change. (ex.
Bagong Lipunan/Marcos/ Philippines 2000 (Ramos)

• managers set out to achieve organizational goals


through implementing processes,
• such as budgeting, organizational structuring, and
staffing, leaders are more intent on thinking ahead
and capitalizing on opportunities.
• .”
2. Organizing vs. Aligning
• The manager administers;

• the leader innovates


• The manager maintains;

• the leader develops

• The manager focuses on systems and structure;

• the leader focuses on people


3. Position vs. Quality
• The title “manager” often denotes a specific role within an
organization’s hierarchy, “
• Manager is a title. It’s a role and set of responsibilities,”

• . Leadership is the result of action. If you act in a way that inspires,


encourages, or engages others, you are a leader.

• A leader may not have a title of a Manager


• And A Manager may NOT be a LEADER!
• .
• BUT The best managers are also TRUE leaders, but the two are not
synonymous.
Steve Jobs said
Management is about persuading people to
do things they do not want to do….,

while leadership is about inspiring people to


do things they never thought they could.

Steve Jobs
