A number of management and leadership publications emphasize that good leaders know when to lead and when to manage. In general, a leader guides while a manager supervises or directs. A successful project manager knows when to lead, when to manage, and when to do both.
In his blog post "The Leader Formula: The 4 things that make a good leader", Stephen Covey presents a 4-part formula for good leadership: 1) inspire trust; 2) clarify purpose; 3) align systems; and, 4) unleash talent. Covey also states that the formula is "based upon principles that build upon each other rather than
techniques or steps that have to be taken independent of each other."
It's imperative for a project manager to have a solid leadership foundation. Without good leadership, the project team has no direction.
