Management and leadership, two interconnected features
Management is basically about achieving the desired outcome with available resources, while leadership in a business context is management plus certain other essential elements. These include the following, among other things:
  • 1.
  • Building a sustainable model in an organization:
    This primarily requires a team, and a work culture that is different from routine management.
  • 2.
  • The ability to shape the world around you:
    An ability to envision and bring to reality an understanding of the world of a specific market at present as well as in the days to come.

    So, to me management is a necessary condition for leadership, while not being the exclusive preserve of it.
