What is the difference between leadership and management?

Management is lording over someone/a group and just giving directives. A better word is overseeing. Leadership is taking the person/group through, supporting along the way, and continuing to support them in their growth.

The difference between leadership and management to me is that management is more of a hands off while leadership is very much hands on shoulder to shoulder with those you are intending to lead while management is very hands off and directing people without intentionality or any form of relationship building.

Managers can be leaders, but it is not necessary for them to be leaders. Managers are put in place to supervise processes, but leaders are individuals who motivate others into achieving their goals. Leaders value terms such as, empowerment, motivation, and encouragement. Mangers on the other hand, just require the necessary skills and abilities to get the job done.

Leadership takes people to a new place. Management merely assigns tasks and makes sure that people do what they are supposed to do in this current place.

They are different in that leadership is taking someone or a group of people to a certain place. Management is less focused and does not have in mind where they want to take people.
