what about management vs. leadership?
404300
Managers and leaders are two very different types of people. Managers' goals arise out of necessities rather than desires; they excel at defusing conflicts between individuals or departments, placating all sides while ensuring that an organization's day-to-day business gets done. Leaders, on the other hand, adopt personal, active attitudes toward goals. They look for the opportunities and rewards that lie around the corner, inspiring subordinates and firing up the creative process with their own energy. Their relationships with employees and coworkers are intense, and their working environment is often chaotic. In this article, first published in 1977, the author argues that businesses need both managers and leaders to survive and succeed. But in the larger U.S. organizations of that time, a "managerial mystique" seemed to perpetuate the development of managerial personalities--people who rely on, and strive to maintain, orderly work patterns. The managerial power ethic favors collective leadership and seeks to avoid risk. That same managerial mystique can stifle leaders' development--How can an entrepreneurial spirit develop when it is submerged in a conservative environment and denied personal attention? Mentor relationships are crucial to the development of leadership personalities, but in large, bureaucratic organizations, such relationships are not encouraged. Businesses must find ways to train good managers and develop leaders at the same time.

The difference can be found in the words. Developement is to grow and make more efficient (or better in laymens)\n\nTo manage is to control. You can mix these together for your best business results.\n\nIf you only manage, you likely will never grow, because development is required to create growth and make your business or office do it's best. You learn and grow, manage along the way.  Hope this is helpful.

Leaders and managers are responsible for mission (or business) definition, training, goal establishment and resources (financial, material and human).  Up to this point managers and leaders perform the same tasks.  What separates leadership from management is that a leader incentivizes subordinates, sets the example for subordinates and puts their well being above his own. \n\nAll leaders must have management skills to be successful - managers do not need leadership skills to be successful - but it never hurts. \n\nDO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE THAT EARNING AN MBA MAKES A LEADER.  MOST MBA PROGRAMS DO NOT EVEN ADDRESS THE SUBJECT OF LEADERSHIP.   MANY, BUT CERTAINLY NOT ALL, GOOD LEADERS COME FROM THE ENLISTED AND OFFICER RANKS OF THE ARMED FORCES. TAKE CARE OF THE TROOPS(OR YOUR SUBORDINATES) AND THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THE MISSION (BUSINESS)

Look up Bovee... he's an author about Business stuff... he says management is becoming "flatter", less bosses are sitting in their ivory towers not knowing what is going on.

If you are doing a SWOT analysis for a company and its competitions, you could possibly find the leader in the industry.  \n\nI'm not sure what your question is...  \n\nUsually, a person possesses leadership skills, and a company could be the benchmark or gold standard in the industry.  I see SWOT as a marketing analysis, and leadership as HR or organization behavior issue.\n\nI hope this is somewhat helpful.  Check out the link, I found great answers in businessballs.com for all of my MBA projects.

In order to be an effective manager, you need to be a good leader.  In my opinion, the words manager and leader are synonymous in the business world.  Managers (leaders) must have a thorough knowledge of the job, organize and motivate subordinates to pursue a common goal, direct for the future, etc.  But one of the most important characteristics is role modeling.  Leaders must be a good role model for their followers (i.e. managers must be a good role model for their subordinates)--if they want their followers to act a certain way, they must project that image for them.

leader inspires people to do things,\nmanager tell them what to do.\n\nfor success, you need both qualities, since most tasks require both motivation to do the work and coordination to ensure that effort leads to result.

Some managers may not have the proper training they need to be efffective leaders. A major role for managers is setting an expectation for the employees. An inconsistant manager sets a poor example.\n\nI would seek employment with a more professional company, or prepare yourself to take on a management role. You already have the first step of effective management figured out. You can identify a problem. Good luck.

Not all individual are born leaders, there are those vvho are, but rarely.  It is being made.  It is hovv you are brought out in the family &  society.  Its a disposition deep vvithin.  Leadership skills are there already vvhen vve're born but not all of them are being cultivated, developed and exercised.  So, great leaders are made to be such.

Ok Management is stroger, but you have to think also about the development. Management can be a boss but you have to know how to development and know all about the resources for doing a successful plan to a project :-)

The Manager has more responsibility and therefore gets paid better. The Asst. Manager follows the direction of the Manager, has some responsibility, and is paid less. Often the Asst. Manager is viewed as a training position and if an individual does well there he/she is often promoted.

Generally, in the U.S., CEO and President can be quite similar.  In the case where there are two senior executives that share responsibilities in large companies or closely held family companies the CEO is usually more senior than the President.  Outside the U.S. the term Managing Director or "MD" is used.  General Manager is often used to describe any senior manager that has Profit and Loss or P&L responsibility.  This might even be of a division of a larger company.

It depends on what the 4 functions of management are.  Try reading the chapter like a good student.

Situational leadership can have a great impact on organizational change if that leader (manager) has a good deal of situational experience related to sheparding change into a company. It will obviously impact the change on a macro-level because the proper planning can be done. But it may have an even bigger impact on a micro-level. Change is usually seen as a very personal thing and is handled differently by different people (this is often the reason people resist). If your situational leader has a good amount of change experience (or experience in why the change is a good thing) they can help get some very tough individuals over the "hump" and migrate to the change...
