There are numerous distinctions between management and leadership. Good managers are sometimes leaders; good leaders are sometimes managers. The distinction is primarily between action and enabling.

Managing is about knowing the importance of coping with complexity which is planning well and knowing how to budget. Managers jobs also have to do with organizing and staffing and also they have to know how to stay in control and problem solve. Leadership is about coping with change which includes setting direction aligning people and motivating and inspiring. Someone who managers and everyone else can look up to. Clawson states “Leadership is about managing energy, first in yourself and then in those around you” (Clawson 2012, p. 3) With the leader being someone to look up to he opens the door and sets the path for the followers to want better for
Within this assignment I will describe my understanding of the links between management and leadership, the skills and styles of management and leadership, the application of management and leadership theories in an organisational context and planning for the development of management and leadership skills.
There is a difference between leadership and management, although they are similar in some ways. While, they both want to achieve common goals, influence people, and work with people, they are different. Managers aim to create consistency and

The comparison and differences of traits between leadership and management techniques and styles is like comparing apples and oranges. Leadership should be an asset of management but unfortunately not all managers have leadership qualities A manager is a director, an overseer, someone who dictates employees. A leader is focused on organizing and inspiring people to be entrepreneurs. The role and responsibilities of both leaders and managers in creating and maintaining a healthy organizational culture has differences and similarities, both a leader and a manager have the same goal to have a healthy organization but the approaches are different.

Weekly objectives and assignments will be clarified on a week by week basis. While the syllabus is fairly complete I reserve the right to make changes or additions throughout the semester. If any changes or additions are made they will be accompanied by at least one week’s notice so that you will still have adequate time to prepare. Reading At least half of our reading will come out of the text. This text is fairly light and as a result gives a good overview of the general issues and concepts of leading organizations without burdening readers with too much information. Make an effort to read through each chapter once, paying particular attention to the cases at the beginning and end of each chapter as they illustrate the concepts in concise detail. The text will serve as a roadmap for any lecture or discussion material. In addition to the text I have assigned several cases and articles to help you further analyze the concepts. Most of the cases/articles we will review are listed on the syllabus (some will be added). Assignments/Summary of Tasks 1) Case Analysis Report (due in class the week the case is due for discussion) Summary: During several weeks we will examine a business case involving team leadership. In each case, we will be able to see leaders and/or team members struggling
This includes an exploration of position and leadership/management styles and the importance of communication at the heart of effective management.
Management and leadership are viewed as two different perspectives in the business environment. As described by Dr. Warren Bennis ‘Managers are people who do things right, while leaders are people who do the right thing’, this means that managers do things by the set rules and follow company policy, while leaders follow their own intuition, which may in turn be of more benefit to the company.
In this essay I will be reflecting on the process of working with my presentation group. I will be making a critical analysis and also draw on theories of management, organisation and individual behaviour regarding my process at Middlesex University.
What is leadership; it can be a process used by leaders in order to shape the workforce and workplace in a variety of ways. Some of the different things that leadership can influence within an organisation are personal attributes and behaviours, which can be developed and/or changed in order to reach a common goal. Leadership can also be used as a channel for developing ideas and visions through an organisation. A clear example of using leadership as a passage to developing ideas through an organisation can be seen in Steve Jobs’ leadership style. Some believe leadership comes from traits of a leader, but others believe it comes from skills learned to be the better leader. There are three main traditional leadership styles however many others still exist. The main ones are: Autocratic leadership style, Democratic leadership and the Laissez-faire leadership style. In this assignment, I will be going through two important challenges in the topic ‘Leadership’, and will comment on potential methods of addressing these issues. The challenges/issues i will go through are: ‘Which leadership style is most appropriate?’ and “What is better for a leader to use; punishment vs reward?”.
The three chapters assigned for the first module of the class are compelling substantiations of the different types of leadership. I remember during the first year of my MHA program, in our Leadership and Organizational Behavior class, we were fortunate to have Dr. Don Jernigan address the class about lessons in leadership. I was in awe of his insights from his prior life events as an active navy officer, to being a professor and now to his present undertakings as the CEO of Adventist Health System. I was particularly entranced on the tangible lessons he communicated to the group about how to approach risk and how to break away from 'reasonable ' thinking to achieve at the highest level. Dr. Jernigan translated a new perspective on the method of thinking and dealing with the adversities ahead of us. He highlighted that it is critical for leaders to exhibit the strength to cope with the ambiguity and complexity of the organization. Most importantly, he highlighted the importance of culture in the organization.
