Document Summary
Chapter 2 leadership and management: a framework for action. Leadership extends beyond management and requires additional skills and responsibilities. Leadership the process in which one engages others to set and achieve a common goal, often an organizationally defined goal. Management the process of accomplishing predetermined objectives through the effective use of human, financial, and technical resources. The main difference is that leadership is concerned w/ setting large goals and management is concerned w/ the executive of actions to achieve those goals. Those in leadership roles vary significantly in regards to the approaches they use to influence employee behaviours, thus leading to different effects on behaviours of employee"s in response to an issue with work. Leadership skills can also be used to change organizational cultures and structures so that they last beyond their time at the organization. Often times one person is called to leadership and management positions in one organization, which leads to overlap.
