Leadership is the quality of


influencing people so that the
objectives are attained willingly and
enthusiastically.

Management is the discipline of


managing things in the best
possible manner. It is the art or skill
of getting the work done through
and with others.

KEY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LEADERSHIP


AND MANAGEMENT:

1. DIFFERENCES IN VISION
Leaders are considered visionaries. They
set the pathways to excel the
organizational growth. They always
examine where their organization stands,
where they want to go, and how they can
reach there by involving the team.

In comparison, managers set out to


achieve organizational goals by
implementing processes, such as
budgeting, organizational structuring,
and staffing.

2. ORGANIZING VS ALIGNING
Managers achieve their goals by using
coordinated activities and tactical
processes. They break down long-time
goals into tiny segments and organize
available resources to reach the desired
outcome.

On the other hand, leaders are more


concerned with how to align and
influence people than how to assign work
to them.

3. DIFFERENCES IN QUERIES
A leader asks what and why, whereas a
manager focuses on the questions of how
and when. To do justice to their duties as a
leader, one might question and challenge
the authority to reverse decisions that may
not be in the better interests of the team.

On the other hand, managers are mostly


not required to assess and analyze
failures. Their job description emphasizes
asking How and When, which assists them
in ensuring that plans are carried out
correctly.

4. POSITION VS QUALITY
A manager is a role that frequently refers
to a specific job within an organization's
structure, whereas the term leader has a
more ambiguous definition.

You are a leader if you act in a way that


inspires others to do their best. It makes
no difference what your title or position is.
On the other hand, a manager is a job
title that comes with a fixed set of
responsibilities.
