Management is a business skill.
If you want to become a better manager, read books about it, attend school and think rigorously about it.
Leadership, on the other hand, is a human skill.
To become a better leader, you need to be determined to be a better human. To do this you need to understand who you really are and develop some objective insights and who you really are.
Business is all about knowing; leadership, on the contrary, is about being.
You can feed you curiosity by reading books about leadership — but they can’t teach you authentic leadership. This has to be experienced.
Leadership takes practice.
For some of us, leadership, like playing tennis, comes more naturally — but even for the most naturally gifted and talented leaders, it is something they have worked hard and long on.
Like the finely tuned muscle memory of someone who practiced their serve in a game of tennis repeatedly, good leaders have honed their leadership over time.
Focus on being a better human, surround yourself with good people and dig deep for personal insights.
You are awesome and doing great - good luck.
