Leadership and management are different from each other. The responsibilities of managers involve management of men and materials for successful operations of the organization. Though it requires knowledge of techniques such as planning. Financial budgeting, resource allocation etc., management of people requires a greater challenge because people bring with them different values, attitudes and work cultures. This makes working together a challenging task. The leader has to understand these factors and bring the team members together to achieve the organizational goals.
Managers tend to be problem solvers , seeking better ways to deploy their resources and get the job done. Leaders, on the other hand, are pathfinders who are more divergent in their thinking. They build the organization for the future. They provide direction, secure new resources, develop new capacities, position the origination and take advantage of emerging opportunities, adopting to change and networking.
