Not to be confused with budget-centered leadership - comparing actual financial performance to the results anticipated or projected in a budget. This approach is commonly used by program managers - i.e., by unit or division managers in business enterprises and or by project or program managers in any large organization that can be "bailed out" by higher units. Unfortunately, a budget-centered approach is often used by the CEO-equivalent of government organizations, where managing a budget is too often more important than managing policy; or with cash flow-centered leadership - emphasizing monthly accounts of income and expenses as a basis for organizational decision-making, an approach widely used by small enterprises and non-profits that donšt have the resources of a larger entity to fall back on if they miss their mark.
