4. It is a set of activities focused on: human, financial,
physical and information resources of an organization for
achieving its goals in an efficient and effective manner,
(Griffin, 1999).
It is the coordination of human, material, technological,
and financial resources needed for an organization to
achieve its goals, (Hess & Siciliano, 1996)
It is the process of getting things done through the
efforts of others, (Mundy & Premeaux, 1995)
5. In search of balance; often one is lacking in an
organization.
Management without leadership implies that an
organization will be unable to deal with change
Leadership without management implies that the
organization is only as strong, as progressive and as
stable as its charismatic leader,
Many organizations are over-staffed with managers but
lack leadership to help them deal with constant change
in their operating environment and plan for succession.
10. Management is a process of
1. Designing
2. Maintaining
An environment where individuals and
groups work together for efficient
accomplishment of identified aims.
‘efficiency’ without ‘effectiveness’ can
be misleading. ‘designing’ and
‘maintaining’ are complex processes
that may require operationalizing
11. Planning

organization goals and
deciding how best to
achieve them)
Controlling
(Monitoring & correcting
activities to facilitate
goal attainment)
Organizing
(Determining how best
to group activities and
resources, includes
staffing)
Motivating
(Motivating staff to
work in the best
interest of the
organization –

leading)
12. Leadership (imbued with personality
flare to influence)

achieve goals, and the clearly
understood vision
Influences the organizational
culture
Allocates resources, directs

Management
Taught in business schools
Comprises of a set of managerial
decisions and actions,
Determines the long run
performance of an organization,
including:
◦ A vision statement
◦ An environmental scan of external
factors vs organizational strengths and
weaknesses
◦ Tactical operational plans,
◦ Monitoring system (timely information)
13. Both need to scan their external environment and audit
internal environment for strengths and weaknesses, and
sustain the motivation of employees.
The future of the organization is tied to the management’s
ability to direct, or, to the leader’s capacity to ‘influence’ the
‘expectation’ of both the organization and workers,
The way a leader guides and acts in an organization must be
institutionalized for consistency in the processes of decision
making.
A strategic manager will find viable direction for the future and
establish systems that will get the employees compliance with
the requisite plans and policies & procedures.
