Leadership vs Management | Difference between Leadership and Management

PROFESSOR: Hi, welcome
to Education leaves.

In this video, I
am going to discuss

leadership versus management.

Let's start the video.

While many of you may think
that manager is also a leader

so these two terms mean
the same, but actually not.

Maybe there is some
overlap between the work

that managers and leaders
do, but these two terms

have different meaning,
and they should not

be used interchangeably.

Both imply a unique set of
skills, characteristics,

and functions that share
a few similarities.

They also show some
strong differences

in some circumstances.

For example, some people lead
without a managerial role,

while some managers do
not practice leadership.

We can define leadership as
a process of social influence

which maximizes the efforts
of others towards achieving

a goal or a specific target.

It is the art of motivating
a group of people.

On the other hand,
management is the art

of work done through people,
with the satisfaction

of the public, employer,
and the employees.

I have discussed management
in another video.

Check that video
in the description.

Leaders set the goal.

Managers follow it.

When it comes to setting and
executing a company's vision

and aims, leaders and
managers have different roles.

Most leaders have a clear
vision of the position

of their organizations
in the future.

However, they are
not the only ones

who are responsible for
fulfilling the vision.

Here, managers play
a significant role.

Leaders transfer the company's
mission, goal, and vision

to the entire organization.

And managers are
responsible for keeping

employees aligned with the core
company's goals and values.

Leaders think ideas.

Managers think of execution.

Leaders are looking for
improvement in the organization,

while managers emphasize
rationality and control.

A leader always comes
up with new ideas

and delivers that to a person
with a forward-thinking mindset.

Basically, leaders look for
answers to why and what,

while managers look for
answers to when and how.

Therefore, the managers'
primary responsibility--

to complete their tasks
and reach their goals

based on the leader's vision.

Managers' job to
make their employees

feel free so that they
can share their voice.

Leaders are concerned with
ideas relating more high level,

while managers relate to people
according to the role they play

in a decision-making process.

Leader's attention to
what should be done

to achieve the best results.

And a manager's attention
how to get done.

Leaders form the culture.

Managers support it.

When it comes to the
organizational culture,

the difference between
management and leadership

is that managers
lead their employees

to live up to the culture,
which was shaped by the leaders.

Inspiring leaders have
the power to influence

employees' behaviors
and communicate

the organizational
culture company-wide.

So driving employees to live
by the company's core value

and culture is impossible
without the collaboration

between management
and leadership.

Leaders inspire people.

Managers push them
to their success.

Leaders have the great
power to inspire people.

And managers are responsible
for their success

and positive experience.

When leaders are unable to
inspire their employees,

managers take the responsibility
to help their people succeed.

If an employee works effectively
within his workplace,

it is the result of honesty,
open, and transparent

communication between the
leader, manager, and employees.

Leaders peek into the future.

Managers take action
in the present.

Leaders are basically
more future-focused,

while managers are more
focused on the present moment.

Therefore, the manager's
most important target

is to come through
organizational goals

by utilizing procedures
around budgeting, staffing,

and organizational
structuring, while leaders

tend to think ahead and
capitalize on future prospects.

In a business, it is important
to have both great managers

and leaders.

The organization
needs a good leader

to achieve its mission
and a good manager

to ensure that things
are getting done

to reach the company's vision.
