Episode 136 - Rerelease of episode 6 - What are Command, Leadership & Management?
Description
Rerelease: Command, Leadership & Management
We’re taking a step back into the archive to revisit one of our most listened-to episodes of Battling with Business: our deep dive into command, leadership, and management.
In this conversation, Chris and Gareth unpack the often-confused but vitally important differences between these three concepts. Drawing on both military and business experience, we explore how they overlap, where they diverge, and why understanding the distinctions matters for anyone trying to get the best from their team. Crucially, we highlight why being clear about the differences is especially important in the military, where lives can depend on the balance between command authority, leadership influence, and effective management.
We look at questions such as:
What makes a good commander versus a good leader or manager?
Why do organisations so often blur these roles?
How can clarity improve performance in business, teams, and on the battlefield?
This episode is a straight rerelease — no edits, no new intro — just the original conversation as it was recorded, highlighting lessons on leadership and management that are as relevant today as when we first released it.
