Enjoy this pretty astute presentation on Leadership vs. Management. (And yes, watch the whole thing.)
Then ask your boss whether he/she wants you to be a manager or a leader. (Sometimes, organizations aren't clear on this point.) Maybe watch the presentation with them first, THEN ask them the question.
Just bear in mind that you're either one or the other: Sure, you can't be an effective manager without some leadership skills and you can't be an effective leader without some management skills, but when it comes to ROLES, you can't be both a leader and a manager. You have to make a choice.
What will your choice be?
