Leadership views from Management authours

Peter Drucker - Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things
Peter Block - Leadership is a long-term relationship, or partnership, between leaders and group members. The power between leader and group members is approximately balanced i.e. shared decision-making. Ken Blanchard believes that Leadership isn't something you do to people. Its something you do with them
