"All business is show business." All leadership is show business. All
management is show business. That doesn't mean tap dancing: it means
shaping values, symbolizing, attention-and it is the opposite of
"administration" and especially, "professional management." For the
last twenty five years we have carried around with us the model of
manager as cop, referee, devil's advocate, dispassionate analyst,
professional, decision maker, naysayer, pronouncer. The alternative we
now propose is leader(not manager) as cheer-leader, enthusiast,
nurturer of champions, hero finder, wanderer, dramatist, coach,
facilitator, builder.
