Getting to Great: Leading vs. Managing

Managing is all about getting things done; leading is making sure agency teams are getting the right things done. 

Exceptional agency leaders don’t just deliver great work. They rally their teams to develop new opportunities and improve the process. 

Vision plays a part, but more so, the ability to translate high level thinking into simple actions…focusing on critical issues, identifying meaningful goals,  and collaborating on a plan so everyone buys into exactly what’s required of them. 

What should differentiate your agency, group or team and impress your clients? How do your people know what matters most and whether they are meeting or exceeding expectations? Why should they care?
