What is the difference between leadership and management?
-
Management is making sure tasks are done, leadership is taking people to overcome challenges and obstacles by inspiring them with vision.
-
Management is overseeing the current, physical environment while leadership is cultivating and stewarding the vision for the future in order to help a company or group grow and move forward in a steady, effective manner to capture the overall picture.
-
Leadership is marked by vision for the future and willingness to guide people towards that future. It’s a heads up mentality.
Management is marked by making sure that tasks at hand get done efficiently, effectively, and safely. But there’s no vision for what’s next, just a heads down mentality.
-
You lead people by helping them get to a place where they currently are not. We manage things and situations.
-
Leadership takes you someplace, and management helps us do what we are supposed to do when we get there. Many organizations are over managed and under led. The environments are changing, but no one thinking as a leader to change where they are going.
