The subject is definitely controversial, as you can't really put your finger on where managing ends and developing begins. But that's exactly why I believe that they are both critical, and we should take the extra step to focus on both. Thanks Mike!

Being a people developer makes them more successful as people managers, too, because their people perform more effectively when someone cares about them. I definitely agree that a people developer doesn’t need to directly manage the people he/she develops. In fact, I think developing people across a company -- not just their team -- is one of the key criteria for being a leader. Maria,
