  1. The leader innovates whereas the manager administers.
  2. The leader inspires trust whereas the manager relies on control.

The leader is more successful.

 

 

 

Leader follows a strategic approach while manager follows a tactical approach for management

The important question in our issue is (Which is the main and which is the branch Management and Leadership?)  A Management is overall handling of any organization, whereas leadership is a part of Management which deals with administration and applying  the policies developed by the management.   I think so

Thank you my dear brother for your invitation ,,,  Well,,I respect and agree with all the answers brothers, each according to his point of view has been the voice of all of them and from my point of view to say that. Management relies heavily on tangible measurable capabilities such as effective planning; the use of organizational systems; and the use of appropriate communications methods. Leadership involves many management skills, but generally as a secondary or background function of true leadership. Leadership instead relies most strongly on less tangible and less measurable things like trust, inspiration, attitude, decision-making, and personal character. These are not processes or skills or even necessarily the result of experience. They are facets of humanity, and are enabled mainly by the leader's character and especially his/her emotional reserves. Another way to see leadership compared with management, is that leadership does not crucially depend on the type of management methods and processes a leaders uses; leadership instead primarily depends on the ways in which the leader uses management methods and processes. 

Good leadership depends on attitudinal qualities, not management processes.Humanity is a way to describe these qualities, because this reflects the leader's vital relationship with people. 

Qualities critical for a leader's relationship with his/her people are quite different to conventional skills and processes. Whatever the size of the organization, operational activities need to be reconcilable with a single congruent (fitting, harmonious) philosophy.Executives, managers, staff, customers, suppliers, stakeholders, etc., need solid philosophical principles (another term would be a 'frame of reference') to base their expectations, decisions and actions. In a vast complex organization , leadership will be very challenging at the best of times due to reasons of size, diversity, political and public interest, etc. Having a conflicting philosophy dramatically increases these difficulties for everyone, not least the leader, because the frame of reference is confusing. 

For leadership to work well, people (employees and interested outsiders) must be able to connect their expectations, aims and activities to a basic purpose or philosophy of the organization. This foundational philosophy should provide vital reference points for employees' decisions and actions - an increasingly significant factor in modern 'empowered' organizations. Seeing a clear philosophy and purpose is also essential for staff, customers and outsiders in assessing crucial organizational characteristics such as integrity, ethics, fairness, quality and performance. A clear philosophy is vital to the 'psychological contract' - whether stated or unstated (almost always unstated) - on which people (employees, customers or observers) tend to judge their relationships and transactions . Therefore, we say the remaining requirements for success of leadership or management depends on the type and nature of the activity of the institution
