Leadership, Not Management????

Steve Burks, the Assemblies of God minister who's standing for election at-large as a Republican, has been a bit of a cipher in this campaign so far. Still, he could be representing us soon after the New Year.

So could someone please explain to me the significance of his campaign slogan: Leadership, Not Management?

I have my preconceptions about how the presence of a Pentecostal preacher on the council could change the dynamics of the city council, but my speculations fail me when I try to wrap my head around that slogan. Leadership toward what?

Here's what Burks told The Tribune:

“I do not have a personal agenda. It is time for leadership not management. Management “maintains” status while leadership cast vision and dreams to make one city a place where people want to live and raise their families.”

I still am clueless. Anyone? Anyone?
