Management and leadership, What's the difference?
Here we will describe the difference between management or leadership. Explaining the roles and why one is better then the other but both are often needed.
Management the person or team that, mange's a crew or project. Having a manager is a impotent, but having a leader is most important. We have all worked places where we had a manager that sat around barking orders not helping in the day to day work. Or the one won't let you do anything. There are so many different examples of horrible management.
Managing and leading are completely different. Managing a crew involves coordinating and overseeing a group of workers to ensure they complete tasks efficiently and effectively. This includes setting clear expectations, communicating regularly, delegating tasks based on skills, and maintaining a safe and productive work environment. Leadership is the ability to influence and guide individuals or groups toward achieving common goals. It involves creating direction, fostering collaboration, and adapting to changing environments to inspire trust and commitment among team members. Now these may both sound similar. However I can assure you they are different.
In every company and team, even in the military. There are only two types of people, followers and leaders. Like in the bible when it refers to the sheep and shepherd. The leader dose not only protect the followers, but also helps uplift and give credit where credit is do. And uses tactics, and poses trats to help lead, a leader should not look good because of their people, but instead their people should look good because of the leader. There to many misconception's on this the best way to clear this up, a manager says I need you to do this. A leader will say, we need to do this. Obvious difference right? Ok good keep. A manager will often act like the boss nobody likes, is out for them self's. We all know the type of people in charge that drive the members of their team away. A lot of people placed in management positions try to chase after money and power. But the most important is having a safe and protected, well managed, work place. Being able to deliver a safe and productive place to work where people strive to come into work, is the proof that you are a good leader.
The ability and inability to lead a team, or place of work. Is based on the traits, the leader has. And not just that but, also dependent on how the followers trust and believe in their leader.
