If you aren't a conceptual leader, what are you?

Yesterday I wrote about being a conceptual leader. This is the person in our organization that is concerned with what "ought to be done." They ask the questions: When? How? At what cost? In what priority? How well?

What are the other type(s) of leaders within our organization? Greenleaf calls them Operational Leaders. He says: The operating talent carries the institution towards its objectives, in the situation, from day to day, and resolves the issues that arise as this movement takes place. This calls for interpersonal skills, sensitivity to the environment, tenacity, experience, judment, ethical soundness, and related attributes and abilities that the day-to-day movement requires.

Greenleaf correctly points out that operating leadership is more administering in contrast to leading. Now that we have seen two types of leaders within organizations, this leads us to the following questions:

Do our organizations have both operational and conceptual leaders? Is there a balance between the two? Does one overshadow the other? And most importantly: Do these two types of leaders understand, respect, never dominate, and depend on one another to carry out the mission of our organization?

What is your experience of operational and conceptual leaders in organizations?
