That is good if leadership still recognizes the bottom line....
I have been very lucky and only had one or two bad managers. Most of the managers I have had have been good people but few of them have been leaders. Conversely, in one of my careers, I know some people who are leaders, and I would follow them, and have followed them, into dicey situations. Their job has management in their job title somewhere but I don't know how good they are at management but if the poo hits the fan you want to be with these leaders.

Management is not easy but many people can be a decent manager. Not many people can be leaders.

What was this thread about? Navigation? Was Columbus a good Manager and/or Leader? Trying to get back on track.

Later,
Dan
