Shane Gray 2
Definitional Clarification

Strategic Leadership a collective, social relationship built on


sharing of direction, alignment, and commitment dedicated to
optimization and continuance of organizational prospective
production.
Strategic Management a functional business network built
on SWOT analysis: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats, to effectively position and emphasize corporate
strategies.

Shane Gray 4
Homogenous Comparison
According to Harrison, and Pelletier
(1997), strategic decisions tend
to be closely linked to form a
consistent pattern for unifying and
directing the organization (p. 299).
Just as in strategic management,
the direction is provided, and
strategic leadership joins the
workforce together in order to
move the organization forward.

Shane Gray 5
Homogenous Comparison
According to Kaiser, McGinnis, and
Overfield, (2012) leadership as a
social influence process in which
leaders use interpersonal behaviors to
motivate followers to contribute to
group goals. On the other hand,
business-oriented models emphasize the
leadership of organizational functions
such as strategy, structure, staffing, and
work systems (p. 119). In essence, the
comparison of the previous statements
provide the comparison of leadership
and management respectively.

Homogenous Comparison
As stated by Worden, (2003), A
tension can occur within strategic
leadership between the elements
of strategic planning and
leadership vision. This tension can
destroy the credibility of
reputational capital unless
strategic leadership is managed
effectively (p. 32). Integrity is the
standard between both leadership
and management. Both lines run
parallel and may even merge from
time to time, but never do they Shane Gray (Image retrieved from:

each other.
Application

How should we as leaders best introduce/utilize these


methodologies?

management is doing things right Peter Drucker

(In other words, if an organization is run effectively and


efficiently, leadership & management will coexist in
tandem.)

In a Nutshell
Both strategic management and strategic
leadership are intricately interwoven. True potential
for success is derived from embracing each, piecing
them together to form a collective whole. There ought
not be an us or them mentality. An organization
relies heavily upon leaders and managers.
