What is the difference between leadership and management?
-
Leadership is the ability to gain the trust of one or a group through trust and believing the leader can be effective in bringing positive change.
Management is organizing and facilitating to complete a job. -
“Leadership takes us someplace. Management helps us do what we’re supposed to do while we are in that place” (pg. 3 of transcript). Leadership is influencing and moving people somewhere better. Management is keeping people and/or systems in place to continue to get desired results.
-
Management keeps things going, leadership pushes things forward.
-
Leadership involves taking people from one place to another, with the hope that the end will be better than where you started on the journey. It’s a process of helping someone. Management is more of the standstill and the doing in that moment/place/season. You’re not in a process of going somewhere when you’re managing or being managed.
