Leadership vs.

Management

• Leadership must be distinguished from management. Both are

complementary and are required for organizational success.
• Management focuses on preserving order and structure with
activities like ensuring adequate staffing and budgeting.
• In contrast, leadership regards engaging and aligning people and
effecting change to improve organization al performance.
• In the specific context of a field project, management is required to
ensure that the budget is defended and that adequate staffing is
available on all shifts whereas leaders change the way that services
are delivered in order to enhance the project’s effectiveness.
