Most “Leaders” are actually Drivers – Here’s Why That’s a Problem

Good article to highlight the differences between leading and driving.

Drivers operate tight ships. They often demand excellence. But here’s the thing: except for short-term sprints such as in some startup environments, driving limits performance.

My observation would be that there are times when leaders need to be drivers, and other times (most of the time!) when they should be leading. This made me ponder how to detect and be deliberate about driving behavior, and to watch out because driving could easily feel good, and feel like you are "getting things done", but it may be the wrong way to get there.
