Many people often use the terms management and leadership interchangeably, but they are really two completely different concepts. Unlike management, leadership is a vocation rather than a position. While management can be assigned or chosen, leadership is something to which someone must be called. Transformational Leadership is about getting people on board to support the company, the vision, the mission and the products. Leadership speaker Jonathan Edison believes and teaches that real leadership is an “influence relationship” among leaders and followers who seek real changes and outcomes that reflect their shared purposes.

High performance cultures are not dependent on one simple factor or as a result of one or two things. The entire context you operate in greatly impacts your results. This context includes the culture of the company-how things get done, how decisions are made, what works and does not work as far as behaviors and what gets rewarded. The key to building a high-performing culture is to make sure you consider using internal resources to make the workplace better. The specifics of a high performance culture are unique to each company because there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to culture.
