non-incremental change through
meticulous planning, vision, and strategy.
Workforce empowerment and adaptive
decision-making also add up to the crucial
attributes of leadership.
A leader is someone who always takes the
initiative and invests a great effort to
accomplish the company’s vision. That is the
only reason why people around start following
them.

4. Leadership vs Management

of individuals in order to achieve a specified objective.
Leadership is the ability of an individual to influence,
motivate, and enable others to contribute to the
organization's success.
 Management is responsible for controlling an
organization, a group, or a set of entities to achieve a
particular objective. Managing is about making sure

expected. A leader communicates in order to set
direction, inspire, and motivate their team.

5. Leadership vs Management
A leader is someone who always takes the initiative and
invests a great effort to accomplish the company’s
vision.
Management is all about performing pre-planned tasks
on a regular basis with the help of subordinates. A
manager is completely responsible for carrying out the
four important functions of management: planning,
organizing, leading, and controlling. Managers can
only become leaders if they adequately carry out
leadership responsibilities, including communication
of good and bad, providing inspiration and guidance,
and encouraging employees to rise to a higher level of
productivity.

50. Leadership
 Leadership requires a vision to guide change. Whereas
managers focus on achieving organizational goals
through process implementation, such as budgeting,
organizational structure, and staffing, leaders are
more concerned with thinking ahead and seizing
opportunities.
 Leaders are considered as visionaries. They set the
pathways to excel the organizational growth. They
always examine where their organization stands,
where they want to go, and how they can reach there
by involving the team.

51. Managers
 Managers set out to achieve organizational
goals by implementing processes, such as
budgeting, organizational structuring, and
staffing. Managers' vision is bound to the
implementation strategies, planning, and
organizing tasks to reach the objectives set out
by leaders. However, both of these roles are
equally important in the context of business
environments and necessitate associative
efforts.

52. Leader vs Manager
 Managers achieve their goals by using
coordinated activities and tactical processes. They
break down long-time goals into tiny segments
and organize available resources to reach the
desired outcome.
 Leaders are more concerned with how to align
and influence people than how to assign work to
them. They achieve this by assisting individuals in
envisioning their function in a wider context and
the possibility for future growth that their efforts
may give.

53. Management & Leadership
The primary difference between
management and leadership is that
leaders don’t necessarily hold or
occupy a management position.
Simply put, a leader doesn’t have to
be an authority figure in the
organization; a leader can be
anyone.

54. Summary
 Leadership is the process, not the position.
 Use the combination of transactional and transformational.
 Use the styles appropriately.
 Combine the power and influence into process of work.
 Keep the bright-side of yours and improve the dark ones
 Enhance your skills in perceiving, managing, using, & understanding
emotions.
 Leadership and learnership is indispensable.
 Keep followers close to the heart & improve them through effective delegation.
 Establish effective groups and teams to help you achieve the overall goals.
 Understand the pros and cons conflicts, and apply the appropriate techniques
to resolve them.
“Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination;
on cooperation, not intimidation”
