Change Quote by James Scouller
““There is a distinction between leadership and management. Leadership is more about change, inspiration, setting the purpose and direction, and building the enthusiasm, unity and staying power for the journey ahead. Management, on the other hand, is less about change, more about stability and making the best use of resources to get things done – good administration, essentially.””
