what leaders really do(HBR CLASSIC) by JOHN P KOTTER

Leadership is different from management,but not for the reasons most people think.Leadership isnt mystical and mysterious.It has nothing to do with having charisma or other special personality traits.Its  not the province of chosen few.Nor is leadership necessarily better than management or a replacement for it.Rather,managment and leadership are two distinctive and complementary system of action,argues John kotter in this article,first published in 1990.Both are necessary  for success in today's business environment.Managment is abouth copying with complexity.Its practices and procedures are,for the most part,responses to the emergence of large,complex organization in 20th  century.Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change.
