About this Quote
This quote by Stephen Covey speaks with the value of both management and management in accomplishing success. Management is the ability to efficiently climb the ladder of success, while leadership is the ability to guarantee that the ladder is leaning against the right wall. In other words, management is the skill of succeeding, while leadership is the ability of making sure that the top is the best location to be. Leadership is the ability to acknowledge the best instructions and to assist others because instructions. Without leadership, management is just a way to an end, and the end might not be the right one. Leadership is the ability to recognize the ideal path and to motivate others to follow it.

"It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership"
