What is the difference between leadership and management?
-
Being a true leader is someone that people want to or will follow out of respect for that person. Management is someone who is in charge of others based on title.
-
Leaders show people the way to be better, to go to a different place, to allow to be led again. Management is about the process, being in a palace and doing the best to complete the tasks of that place.
-
Leaders lead people and management manages people. A leader is someone who takes people to a better place than where they were before, growth has occurred. While management can have leadership qualities from time to time their main objective is to make sure things are running the way they were set up, growth isn’t always a focus.
-
Management is meant to maintain organizational structure and processes, while leadership encapsulates everything and every concept needed to take people from “here” to “THERE.” Management is not as multifaceted as leadership, and not all managers are considered leaders.
-
Managers manage. Growth is optional. Maintaining the status quo might be seen as a victory.
Leaders lead. Growth is the goal. Maintaining the status quo is a sign of ineffectiveness.
