0Explain the relationship between leadership and management

Many people believe the words Management and Leadership mean the same thing. There is
huge difference between the meaning, and thats what I am going to discuss in my essay and
explain the difference between them. Leadership and management are correlated with each
other and there is always a relationship between each of them. According to me management
cant work without leadership and leadership cant implement anything without management

Leadership and management are two sides of coin, working together. Different authors and
masters of management have different definitions. According to David Brent(1)
management is the set of process that keeps an organisation functioning, whereas leadership
is aligning people to the vision and motivating and inspiring others. Brent quotes that
"Management is a set of processes that keep an organisation functioningThe
processes are about planning, budgeting, staffing, clarifying jobs, measuring performance,
and problem-solving when results do not go to plan."
As I can relate to David Brent because I am a manger in a shop named Michaels drinks. its
really hard to remain only functional and I have to look at so many things at one time. But I
love having responsibility; I have to do the inventory and have to be transactional and
transformational as well so that other employees can believe me and have trust in me. So on
the other hand as well I have to look at the vision of our company as well so I can run

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Definitions of some well-known authors and professors which tells management and
leadership are correlated but not the same thing
In my opinion Management is functionally while leadership is visionary this is further
supported by John Kotter . Management is a set of processes that keep an organisation
functioning. They make it work today they make it hit this quarter's numbers. The processes
are about planning, budgeting, staffing, clarifying jobs, measuring performance, and
problem-solving when results did not go to plan. "Leadership is about aligning people to the
vision that means buy-in and communication, motivation and inspiration."
I believe that leaders have to make the targets and make a blue print of all the skills which are
needed to complete any task and then he can use the techniques which is planned by the
managers and implement individually to the followers. According to Jonathan Gosling,
professor of leadership studies at the University. "Target setting is a management technique
used to focus attention on certain activities. A hospital, for example, might set targets around
waiting times."



According to me Leadership have to be very clear, and leaders only can motivate the
individuals and inspired them and they always looking for building relationship. Leadership
needs to be clear and strategic, but it also needs to be collaborative both between and within
organisations.
According to Dame Mary Marsh.
"It's crazy to think that you only need to lead when you're working at the top of an
organisation you simply can't learn it all then because you'll be too busy doing it."

I believe that Managers are risk-averse, leaders appeared as risk-seeking, leaders are
more comfortable in handling the risks and they use all the skills and experiment to
overcome that. This is further supported by the website

According to Grace Murray Hooper, an American computer programmer and
inventor wrote
you manage things; you lead people
However I believe that Leadership and management have a indirect link with each
other. Leaders have to trust their subordinates. But having the trust, leader has to
supervise as well so that they can maintain a control which can be beneficial for the
manager and indirectly to the organisation. Leaders have to motivate their team, and
manager Should try to interact with each other so that at the end of the day mangers
may not know all employees but his employees certainly know him, and this keep
the vision and mission always in mind. This is supported by the journal article about
Rupert Murdoch.
And this further supported by the ongoing debate in academic circles over the past
50-odd years relating to the correlation between leadership and management.
They describe leadership as "the ability of an individual to influence, motivate, and
enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organizations
of which they are members and management means comprises directing and
controlling a group of one or more people or entities for the purpose of coordinating
and harmonizing that group towards accomplishing a goal.
This debate is supported by the (3)




RESPONSIBLITIES OF LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
1) In my opinions Leaders create new visions and mission according to the organisation.
While managers implement the tactical actions which are required for the organisation
Leaders just establish the financial targets in respect with the organisation Managers have to
look upon all the budgeting in detailed. Leaders mainly focus on the people about their
interests . But as in a contrast I notify that there are some born leaders which can represent
both as leader and manager this is further supported by the website (4)

For example Steve Jobs who is autocratic leader, but due to a really good vision about his
vision he make apple brand as a cult so everyone want to work for that company. So
sometimes leadership style is completely differ with the demand of the organisation.
Leaders always have transformational style; they always try to change the environment by
their skills and experiment they emphasize more individually. While managers have
transactional styles they want everything done formally and they look to relate financially
