Are leader and manager really the same thing?

In this AI Chore Cast, David Elser challenges one of the biggest assumptions in talent development. Since the early 1980s, most workplace training has been built on leader-centric thinking. But in the post-industrial era, that approach may be keeping organizations stuck in the mud.

Drawing on the work of Joseph C. Rost, Dr. Robert Kelley, and Matthew Chodkowski, this episode explores why leadership, management, and smart followership should not be treated as the same thing, and why we are at our best when we become collaborators. If you are ready to think differently about talent development, leadership development, HR, and workplace learning, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how your workforce is developed through Talent Development 2.0.
