Management vs. Leadership
There isn't a big difference between management and leadership is styles. The many types of management styles often coincide with leadership styles.
A Paternalistic style of management is when the leaders decide what's best for the employees and for the organization, policies are devised to benefit the employees and the organization; the suggestions and feedback of the subordinates are taken into consideration before deciding something.
In leadership, House’s path-goal theory states that the leader’s job is to ensure that employees view their effort as leading to performance, and to increase the belief that performance would be rewarded. I believe that leadership, however, can be more effective in an organizational setting by implementing Vroom and Yetton’s Normative Decision Model styles of leadership. Using that model which includes these steps: Decide, Consult Individually, Consult as a group, Facilitate, and Delegate, will ensure that your company provides an excellent organizational setting for your place of employment.
Lori, you are right on it. There is really no big difference between the two. I belive that both are needed in the work place to accomplish a comman goal. Without either one it makes it hard for employees to work together.
ReplyDeleteAccording to guides.wsj. In his 1989 book “On Becoming a Leader,” Warren Bennis composed a list of the differences:
– The manager is a copy; the leader is an original.
– The manager maintains; the leader develops.
– The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people.
– The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.

I agree with you Lorene because leadership and management have different roles but they go hand-in-hand. An effective leader has to be an effective manager as well to be successful. There are different types of leadership styles and they all have their pros and cons. There is no one leadership style the fits all situations. A leader and manager must have integrity and intelligence in dealing with the people that do the job and the resources you provide to do the job. A leaders decision making is dependent upon the people that they have working for them and the situation at hand.
