In the first section we have learned what is leadership and
how it differs with the management, demonstrate and understanding of the nature
of leadership and strategic management as well as theory of leadership. With that
learning we suppose to discuss below topic.
Leader is a person who influences a group of people towards the
achievement of a goal, basically leadership made with person, people and the purpose.
Leadership is about effectiveness through trust, inspiration and people. leadership
is that some causes leaders do not have to hold a management position. That is,
a person can become a leader without a formal title. Any individual can become
a leader because the basis of leadership is on the personal qualities of the
leader. Doing the right things, communicating the vision,persuading,innovates -
developing fresh approaches to change. Focuses
on and develops people are about leadership.
A manager is a person in an organization who is responsible
for carrying out the four functions of management, including planning,
organizing, leading and controlling. all managers would be leaders if they effectively
carry out their leadership responsibilities to communicate, motivate, inspire
and encourage employees towards a higher level of productivity. managers are
responsible for carrying out the four functions of management, their primary
concern is to accomplish organizational goals. Managers get paid to get things
done in organizations. Management is about efficiency and getting results
though systems, processes, procedures, controls and structure.
Leaders have followers; managers have employees. Leaders
empower and inspire their followers. Managers only maintain command and
control, many times to excess, thereby uninspiring employees. Leaders do not
seek stability, they look for flexibility. Leaders set the course, inspiring
their followers to solve their own problems and make their own decisions.
Leaders teach their followers to be leaders and to better themselves, their
companies, and those around them. Managers make decisions, solve problems as
they arise, and give orders. Leaders are always looking for better and more
efficient ways of doing things. A manager just accepts the organization's
makeup and culture and does all that he or she can to cement the company's status.
As leaders always looking for ways to access the brain trust we employ the knowhow
and everyday skills of our people. Unfortunately, even the best of managers
don't do well with this type of task, but leaders do. leaders show their
loyalty to the employees, the managers, and the company to earn the employees'
loyalty.
