Better Essays

Introduction
According to Luft (2007), through out the years leadership and management roles have changed in so many directions due to changing of organizational needs. According to Gary Yukl (2005) for more than two decades there have been debates about the difference between leading, managing and the relative importance of the two roles for a successful organization. In any organization a manager tend to manage and supervises tasks, while a leader inspires and motivates others.
The terms leadership and management vary in definition, but both share a link of how to deal and inspire others. According to Luft (2007), years ago, managers were thought of as people who claimed to be bosses, but in the early twenty-first century, many managers viewed themselves as leaders rather than people who told employees what to do. According to Luft (2007), due to the demand of labor force output, many managers played leadership roles, including first line supervision. According to Michael Maccoby (2000), management is a function that must be exercised in any business to write business plans, set budgets, and monitor progress instead of leaders who are supposed to lead the direction of the organization to change on daily basis. Usually, management works to manage and finish tasks of a project by planning, organizing, and coordinating versus leadership role whose goal is to inspire and motivate others to the direction of the organizations mission.
