To Lead One Must Manage; To Manage One Must Lead

Before we continue in the breakdown of both management and leadership, we need to take a step back and ensure we fully understand what these two concepts mean. What does it take to be a manager? What does it take to be a leader? A manager is someone who can get things done with a group of people working together (Cafferky, 2012). A group working toward a common goal. A leader is someone who influences a person or persons (Northouse, 2018). The differences I believe is when a manager is focused on the task and job ahead. While a leader focuses on the concerns of the people and the power of coming together. I am not saying managers are heartless. However, it seems in my working experience leaders are less concerned about quotas and profits. Although, come to think of it is not easy to separate these two qualities. It is almost like where one is there is the other. A manager must be able to relate and associate with employees to meet the quota. A leader not only can focus on the person, but also completing the job at hand. A good leader and a good manager, I believe would be hard to separate. Lines become blurred when effective people are responsible for a group of people. All of this to say, being a good manager or a good leader means you must understand and practice both concepts.

I agree that leadership and management have very fine distinctions as they play
almost similar roles. The two overlap in the skills to be demonstrated when working with
groups such as; exercising decisiveness, optimism, integrity and open communications
(Azad, et al., 2017).
I also concur with the idea that the most significant difference between the two
concepts is ...
