The Executive's Two Responsibilities (MT)

Executives and managers both have two core responsibilities that inform all else that they do. But the two key responsibilities are different between managers and executives. Managers manage; executives lead.

It probably won't surprise anyone who's paying attention that executives have two primary responsibilities just like managers do. It also probably won't surprise anyone that they're similar to the results and retention that managers must achieve. But the difference between managers and leaders is that managers are only responsible for the current successful operation of the organization, will executive leaders are responsible for the future success of the company or organization.

What does this mean? If you take the manager's current responsibilities, and extend them into the future, what is the logical outcome of that for the executive's responsibilities? Much of the Manager Tools Community will figure it out: Results Growth and Leader Development.
