  • Title: Managers, leaders, and teams in a team-based environment.
    Author: DeMent J.
    Journal: Hosp Mater Manage Q; 1996 Aug; 18(1):1-9. PubMed ID: 10159794.
    Abstract:
    In order to succeed in today's dynamic environment, abundant with corporate restructuring and downsizing, into what must today's manager transform? Part of the answer lies in "leadership." Some managers are leaders, some leaders are managers, but the two are not synonymous. There are notable differences between managers and leaders, particularly in the role each plays in the transition towards organizations that are customer-focused, empowered, and team-based. The evolution towards team-based organizations begins with three different, concurrent transitions: of managers into leaders, of employees into teammates, and of functional hierarchical organizations into those of team empowerment.
