Document Summary
Leadership is one of the central functions of management. What often distinguishes great managers from merely good ones is that great managers excel in leadership, particularly under adverse conditions. Leadership: the process of motivating, influencing, and directing others in the organization to work productively in pursuit of organization goals. Great managers are able to work through other people to achieve remarkable transformations in the performance of an organization. It has become fashionable to draw a sharp distinction between leaders and managers. Whereas managers are concerned with doing things right , leaders are seen as focusing on vision, mission, and goals, whereas managers focus on efficiency and effectiveness. Managers are seen as preservers of the status quo; leaders see themselves as promoters of change and challengers of the status quo. North american organizations are over-managed and under-led. management is about coping with complexity. Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change.
