One of those great military leaders was Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, the first woman to become a flag officer in the Navy, and also instrumental in developing one of the first computer languages (COBOL), which is still used today.
Concerning the difference between management and leadership, she said:
– “You manage things; you lead people.”
