Leadership vs. Management
The difference between leadership and management
The term leadership and management are often interchanged and in most leadership roles management and leadership skills are both required to be fully effective.
There are, however, some differences and whilst you may be both a leader and a manager it is important to understand which hat you are wearing in each circumstance if you want to achieve the optimal outcome.
Leadership involves motivating and inspiring people to contribute to the group's success. Leadership focuses on setting a new direction or vision and requires trust from followers so that they are willing to do what a leader is asking of them.
Management is about controlling and directing people or resources to achieve specific objectives. Management ensures day-to-day operations are carried out efficiently and involves control over subordinates.
Both leadership and management are needed to drive successful outcomes and to achieve the strongest possible outcome organisations need their leaders and managers to be effective and focused.
