Governance and leadership are the yin and the yang of successful organizations.

If you have leadership without governance you risk tyranny, fraud and personal fiefdoms.

If you have governance without leadership you risk atrophy, bureaucracy and indifference.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LEADERSHIP & GOVERNANCE?

• Leadership represents the organization of people into manageable groups and influencing them to a specific direction for the purposes of harnessing available resources (spiritual, mental, and physical) for the general good of all.

• Governance relates more with management, control, rule, etc. The significance of any government is to enforce order wherever it is located and to establish positive institutions that regulate and direct the actions of persons as well as the management of other resources for the general good of all.
