Comparing Management and Leadership

This week you learned about the differences between Management and Leadership. Managers and leaders are not inherently different types of people. Many managers possess abilities and qualities to be effective leaders. As well, leadership cannot replace management–it is in addition to management.

Write a 2 page paper where you compare and contrast the term Management and Leadership.

Address the following in your paper:

Provide examples of leadership versus management activities for each of the 5 areas crucial to organizational performance.

• Direction
• Alignment
• Relationships
• Personal Qualities
• Outcomes
• Include your own examples, thoughts and experiences in your discussion.

Include a title page and 3-5 references. Only one reference may be from the internet (not Wikipedia). The other reference must be from the Grantham University online library. Please adhere to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), (6th ed. 2nd priting) when writing and submitting assignments and papers.
