Is leadership really better than management, or have we got it wrong?

In this episode, Martin Johnson breaks down one of the biggest myths in leadership today, the idea that leaders inspire while managers control.

He explores why leadership and management are not opposites, but two essential skill sets that must work together to drive performance, accountability, and results.

From creating followership to executing with precision, this conversation unpacks when to lead, when to manage, and why great leaders must be able to do both.

If you’ve ever struggled to balance vision with execution, this episode is for you.
