Emotional awareness is essential in being an effective leader. Having a empathy allows you to truly communicate effectively with your teams. Effective  communication leads to identify items and processes that are working and those that need attention. 

Leaders establish the goal and vision.  Mangers create the plan and work with individuals or groups to achieve the goal.  Both are equally important but companies that have leaders increase their value by 14+ percent.  Companies need to have leaders and set the VISION. (Your either busy growing or your busy dying) 

Management can be difficult. You have to be able to hold people accountable and maintain the relationship.  To be effective in management you must demonstrate you care. A manager is the individual who delivers on the vision of a leader.

Reviewing your legacy is one of the most important things you can do. It provides you the opportunity to prioritize your purpose and look at the big picture.  Often we get lost in the daily task and forget the future. 

The various types of leadership are interesting to me because I always felt leadership was based on personal style. But to truly be effective the leadership must be based on the given situation.
