Leadership is much more than just having the authority of a management or supervisory position. Merely possessing management skills is no longer sufficient for success as an executive in today's business world. To maximize your long-term success you should strive to be both a manager and a leader and to synergize their functions.

Support and help; back your people up; be on their side; remember their problems. Listen with understanding; give time to listen; be willing to discuss and solve problems; have common touch with your people and win their trust.
