Management skills are a subset of leadership skills. A leader is someone who knows where to go. Management skills are how actually they get there. A college student who gets a bunch of friends together to take a weekend trip skiing is acting not only as a leader but also as a manager. The student must take care of how much fuel they needed, how much lift tickets are to cost etc etc.
Someone who is trying to act as a leader, but wants nothing to do with management is, like a person who found the his fav choclate box and is overcome with the desire to have them. Visin, a goal, and a sense of purpose are all persent but the ability to plan and execute is lacking.
That is pretty good description of someone who wants to lead, but not to manage. They may have wonderful ideas, but without the ability to plan and oversee the necessery work their ideas are not going to be realized-at least not by them. If their ideas are implemented, it will be done by another leader who embraces the management function.
While management is an important part of leadership, the reverse is not necessearily true. There are many people who are very skilled in implementing someone else vision who are not leader. The fact that these people exist can make some leader justified in abdicating their responsibilty to manage.
The Core Differences
I considered that there are only three core differences between management and leadership they are:
Leadership is synthesis, Management is analysis: In genral, analysis is defined as the procedure by which we breakdown the whole substantial in parts or components. Synthesis is defined as the opposite procedure to combone seprate element in order to to form coherent whole. Every synthesis is built upon the result of a preceding analysis, and every analysis require a subsequent synthesis in order to verify and correct its result.
A leader reques his manager to provide him with status issue and other vital statistics for each of the managed sub-division. The leader than puts all the data on the table and then tries to synthesis them in to a fundemental statement followed by a direction or vision for the entire set of problem. Then he hands over his vision to each manager who then tries to analyze the division status with leaders vision and then formulates plan to adress them. In nutshell, synthensis involves working with abstract concepts while analysisdeals with details.
Leadership has long-term impact, Management has short-term goals:- leaders decision impact the future of the oraganization, they bring vision, they motivate the organization towards a goal. The effect of their vision can only be measured over substantial period, they can either make or break an oraganization. Managers role is more about managing day-to-day activities supervising subordinates staff,get the task completed, measure and report on performance and reward.
Leadership is an intention of climbing to next level, Management is the process of efficently executing the plan.
In any organization, both leaership and management exists at every level of management, however the amount of each varies according to management hierarchy.
