What’s the real difference between a manager and a leader?

In Episode 27 of the Now What? Podcast, Glenn Sharp builds on his recent appearance on the Entrepreneur DNA Podcast with Justin Colby to break down one of the most important leadership distinctions in business.

Most managers focus on tasks, processes, and direction.

Leaders focus on vision, influence, and preparation.

That difference matters most when change hits.

In this episode, Glenn explains why change often gets worse before it gets better, why leaders must prepare people in advance, and why talking to the end user before implementing change leads to better decisions.

He also shares real-world examples, including Justin Colby’s experience switching insurance providers and a story about poor planning that created wasted time and frustration when mechanics were sent to a location that wasn’t prepared for them.

You’ll also hear Glenn’s perspective on:

• Why delegation is the most powerful time management tool leaders have
• Why hiring people who are better than you at certain tasks is a strength
• How investing your time in training creates layers of coverage on your team
• Why AI is a tool—but human connection is still the key to business

If you want to lead more effectively, influence people better, and stop confusing management with leadership, this episode is worth your time.
