Leadership by contrast, is about coping with change (Kotter,
2001.p 4).Many changes in the
organization or in the world, volatile market conditions may request for good
leadership(Kotter, 2001).
It has been identified Northhouse(2016)leadership is mix of
these components
A)Leadership is a process B) Leadership involves influence
C) It happens in groups D) Works on common goals.
.According to( Northhouse,2016.p
31)considering above four components leadership define as a process of whereby
an individual influences a group of individual to achieve a common goal. Leadership
may not have common definitions. It has described in various ways .It’s depends
on the people involved in and the process, the organization or the situation (Northhouse,
2016).
Management is about coping with complexity (Kotter, 2001.p 4). According
to the Fayol(1916)management is blend of planning, organizing, staffing and
controlling. Management was implemented to minimize the disorder of the
organization and and do the business very productively and systematically (Northhouse,
2016).
Rost (1991) has stated that leadership is multi directional inspiration
association and the management is unidirectional authority association.
Leadership is more focus on the method developing common purposes. Management is
directing activities to achieve the given targets. Leader has followers and the
manager has their subordinates
Leadership and management both are needed to get success in
the modern business organization. Management and leadership have their own roles
and features. People have very good managerial
skills and but not good in leadership, some have capacity to become good leaders
but not good enough in managing. Companies train and develop their employee’s
skills and knowledge to improve the leadership skills and the management skills
and they really want on board leader-managers (Kotter, 2001).
