 MANAGING AND LEADING

•Managing is about efficiency.

Leading is about effectiveness.
Managing is about how. Leading is
about what and why. Management is
about systems, controls, procedures,
policies, and structure. Leadership is
about trust — about people.

 LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

• Leadership is about innovating and

initiating. Management is about
copying, about managing the status
quo. Leadership is creative,
adaptive, and agile. Leadership
looks at the horizon, not just the
bottom line.

• There is a profound difference between

management and leadership, and both
are important "To manage" means "to
bring about, to accomplish, to have
charge of or responsibility for, to
conduct." "Leading" is "influencing,
guiding in direction, course, action,
opinion." The distinction is crucial.
