Leadership Management
1 In the absence of leadership Management is devoid of clear ends
2 Leaders do the right things. Managers do things right.
3 Leadership sets the style and tone for achieving a vision and motivates people to sacrifice for the attainment of the vision.
Management is the tactical process of executing and achieving the mission.
