Donald Burns (speaker) advises executives that leadership is measured by the impact and presence a leader creates—not by long hours or visible hard work. He emphasizes that leaders are paid for results and brand impact, not for serving shifts, and contrasts managers who work on the floor with leaders who maintain visibility and influence to produce outcomes.

As a leader, you've worked long and hard for your current executive position, but don't forget what got you there. It's not long hours and hard work, it's the way the team looked at you. As a leader, you are not paid to work hard. You are paid for the results in the impact you have on the brand. As a leader, I know quite a few general managers, director of operations and executive chefs that work in their restaurants serving lunch and dinner. Presence and visibility that separates managers from real leaders.
