Dubai: International leadership expert and author Todd Henry emphasized the critical balance between leadership and management during his keynote session at the Mohammed bin Rashid Leadership Forum.
According to Emirates News Agency, Henry addressed senior leaders, decision-makers, and emerging talents from both government and private sectors in a session titled ‘How to Lead for a Lasting Impact.’ He highlighted that effective leaders are not only distinguished by their vision but also by their ability to implement that vision effectively.
Henry stressed that leadership without discipline can become abstract, while management devoid of passion can become routine. He encouraged leaders to embody urgency and purpose in their daily decisions, thereby inspiring their teams to work with discipline and clarity towards achieving lasting impact.
He further explained that leadership and management are complementary forces, with leadership providing the courage to act and management sustaining that energy through structured processes. He urged leaders to anticipate challenges and drive innovation by creating systems where passion aligns with rhythm and courage aligns with structure.
