It's where the rubber hits the road between a vision or a purpose and actually getting it done. >**Management** is about organizing the work, using the resources well, implementing, making sure that things happen, responding to feedback, and operating the system. >The foundational one is the idea of **Self-leadership**. That, even all of these six functions we talk about all come to play in our own lives as we manage our own productivity, our own self-fulfillment, and our responsibilities to our family and the community. > >**Governance** is less about doing or even maybe even crafting a vision and more about protecting the organization, protecting the stakeholders, setting the boundaries, setting the ethical boundaries, and dealing with risk. >**Guidance** is where the leader has the the freedom, the responsibility, and the opportunity to get help about their leadership responsibility. They need to have an opportunity to learn from those who can help. >The sixth is **Ultimate Power**... There is opportunity to get providence, divine aid, supernatural help... Sometimes you have to go to your conscience, or what you know is true, or some outside source or principles that you already hold on to, to get the answers. >This is where this gets really interesting. I don't know how far we could even carry this today, but the six functions could happen at any level of the organization. And in your world, whatever that is, you can look at, what's the role of leadership, what's the role of governance, what about management, and that those could be three different things you do in a day... It's a fractal in that it's the pattern you see every time you go down another level. # See also - [[Stewardship]] - [[Divine Aid|Ultimate Power]] %% Episode 107 - 1st - leadership functions - [[Leadership Functions in Essential Dynamics]]
