The difference between leaders and managers

Cotter says that leadership and management are complimentary but different. He believes that organizations that develop and strengthen leadership skills in and out perform those who emphasize management skills since organizations with leaders will be able to adapt to the changing market.

multinational business experience in Europe confirms that organizations that emphasize large and estimated the value of leadership skills. Turkish organization, while the least-developed organization than others in Europe, he was known as the land of bread crumbs from global leaders. Country manager, describes such Cotter, gave young managers the opportunity to lead teams, and then go horizontally them to other departments in order to expand their investments and experience in developing strong leadership skills rather than skills deep departments.

This example illustrates the value of leadership skills. Still, the leadership is only one role to play and the coach is not completely separate set of skills. I do not agree that "people can not manage and lead" (Kotter, 01). While the leadership role has become increasingly important, and other important administrative positions also. Without the balance of the leader / director may not take full advantage of the organization. For example, long-term planning definitely needs to see the leader, but we must also use the management skills to organize teams in ways to meet that vision. Moreover, it must be the leader / director of communication and motivation skills to align and motivate, as well as organizational skills and team building to ensure an orderly team has developed ways to cope with future challenges.

because I see leadership as one of the roles played Director, and I consider myself a leader / manager is not one or the other. All in leadership roles have been given have a need for leadership skills to lead the people as well as the necessary business management skills. Two roles are not mutually exclusive.
