The book, 360 degree Leadership by John Maxwell clearly defines the difference.
(use examples from the book)
As a leader/manager/mentor, it is incumbent upon you to recognize these traits – reward the productive endeavor and not condone a high level of game playing.
AND, if YOU are the guilty party, ask yourself why you feel that you can’t move to the productive side. If you really don’t have a sufficient answer (one that’s not an excuse or cop out) get over your phony self and make a better contribution to society.
Enough said!
