MANAGEMENT

Dedicated for my children Rohit Patil and Atul Patil

LEADERSHIP VS MANAGEMENT--------------------------------------------Leadership and management are two notions that are often used interchangeably ,However these words actually describe two different concepts

Leadership is a facet of management

----------------------------------------Leadership is just one of the many assets a successful manager must possess

Aim of a manager -----------------------------1) To maximize the output of the organization through administrative implementation2) Manager must undertake the following function

a) Organizationb) Planningc) Staffingd) Directinge) Controlling

Aim of a manager -----------------------------Leadership is just one important component of the directing function

A manager cannot just be a leader, he also needs format authority to be effective“ For any quality initiative to take hold. Senior management must be involved and act as a role model. This involvement cannot be delegated”

Difference In Perspectives ---------------------------Managers think incrementally, whilst leaders think radically. “ Managers do things right, while leaders do the right thing”Leader is more emotional than a manager.Men are governed by theirs emotions rather than their intelligence”“ Leaders stand out by being different They question assumption and are suspicious of tradition They seek out truth and make decisions based on fact, not prejudice They have preference of innovation ”

Subordinate as a leader ---------------------------1)“Leaders must let vision, strategies, goals, and values be the guide-post for action and behavior rather than attempting and control others”

2) When a natural leader emerges in a group containing a manager, conflict may arise if they have different views

3) When a manager sees the group looking towards someone else for leadership he may feel his authority is being questioned

Loyalty ------------1) Groups are often more loyal to a leader than a manager

2) Loyalty is created by a leader taking responsibility in areas such as a) Taking the blames when things goes wrong b)Celebrating group achievements, even minor ones c) Giving credit where it is due

Loyalty and Success----------------------------

“ The leader must take a point of highlighting successes within a team, using charts or graphs, with little presentations and fun ideas”

Leaders and Team Confidence----------------------------------------

Leaders are observant and sensitive people. They know their team and develop mutual confidence within it.

Leader Followed, Manager Rules ---------------------------------------------1) A leader is someone who people naturally follow through their own choise, where as manager must be obeyed.

2)A manager may only have obtained his position of authority through time and loyalty given to the company, not as a result of his leadership qualities.

3)Leader may have no organizational skills, but his vision unites people behind him.

Management Knows How It Works---------------------------------------------1) Management usually consists of people who are experienced in their field, and who have worked their way up the company.2) A manager knows how each layer of the system works and may also possess a good technical knowledge.3) A leader can be a new arrival to a company, who has bold, fresh, new ideas but might not have experience or wisdom.

Conclusion ----------------Managing and leading are two different ways of organizing people. The manager uses formal, rational method whilst the leader uses passion and stirs emotions.
