Another way of putting this is that leaders determine the best destination and managers determine the best route there.
Sounds like (from my non-military perspective) the difference between officers and sergeants.
Leaders are declarative and managers are procedural?
Agreed. Redefining the word "manager" to mean "degenerate leader" seems awfully short-sighted.
