Drifting slightly, I was once a party to a discussion on the leadership and management.
The question was posed: 'what is the difference between leadership and management'?
One answer offered was: 'leadership is management where your decision could get somebody killed'.
Regardless of one's view, it can often be quite difficult to define what we mean by the words 'leadership' and 'management'. I have never claimed to be good at either but I have tried to follow a simple suggestion given me at OCTU by a hairy ex-SNCO: 'treat everybody for whom you have a responsibility, with the same consideration as you would hope and expect to receive yourself'. Incidentally, he's the same chap who when I said: 'what should I aim to do on my station', retorted 'keep your f*^CK$+g mouth shut and just listen' - good advice I found!
