Effective managers understand their teams work.
Management personnel are more focused on executing their leaders vision, as opposed to creating the vision.
Management produces order and consistency:
Someone in management is focused on the daily operations of a business.
This person wants to ensure that the business is meeting its goals consistently on a day-to-day basis.
You clearly see the end goal and inspire others to help you attain it.
Both concepts are hugely valuable, and necessary for the success of the group.
Leading others effectively requires both management and leadership skills, with leading being a critical component of effective management.
When there is no leadership, management becomes a soulless routine, Freschi concludes.
Both leadership and management are equally crucial for any organization to achieve its goals effectively.
