I am fully agree with the detail answer of Amrut Desai. I think he explained everything.
Leadership and management must go hand in hand. They are not the same thing. But they are necessarily linked, and complementary. Any effort to separate the two is likely to cause more problems than it solves.
However, it should be noted that generally it is understood in the corporate world that it is not for a manager to fulfill all the requirements of an organization but to be responsible for only the allotted assignments. It is the leader of an organizations on whose shoulder the responsibility of fulfilling most of the requirements of an organization if not all!!
Still, much ink has been spent delineating the differences. The manager’s job is to plan, organize and coordinate. The leader’s job is to inspire and motivate. In his1989 book “On Becoming a Leader,” Warren Bennis composed a list of the differences:
– The manager administers; the leader innovates.
– The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
– The manager maintains; the leader develops.
– The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
– The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
– The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.
– The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
– The manager has his or her eye always on the bottom line; the leader’s eye is on the horizon.
– The manager imitates; the leader originates.
– The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
– The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or her own person.
– The manager does things right; the leader does the right thing.
In the new economy, where value comes increasingly from the knowledge of people, and where workers are no longer undifferentiated cogs in an industrial machine, the role of managers and team leadership are not easily separated. People look to their managers, not just to assign them a task, but to define for them a purpose. And managers must organize workers, not just to maximize efficiency, but to nurture skills, develop talent and inspire results.
With the rise of the knowledge worker, “one does not ‘manage’ people,” Mr. Drucker wrote. “The task is to lead people. And the goal is to make productive the specific strengths and knowledge of every individual.”
“Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things” - Warren Bennis and Peter Drucker
Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent.
Leadership is a state of mind….leadership is about vision, spirit, and character; getting diverse individuals to work together as a team
Managers manage workers
Leaders manage Managers
Politicians Manage Leaders
A leader inspires and has charisma while a manager is structured and organised. A good manager is not necessariy a good leader while a good leader needs to have some mangement qualities.
