It is interesting that this post is here at the same time I am attending a leadership course where we have been asked to explain the difference! In our discussion, we highlighted that leadership is a process based on influence while management relates to day-to-day running of an organization. The key activities in leadership include challenging, persuading, influencing and inspiring others to take action while management activities include planning, controlling, coordination, and organizing. While leadership requires creativity and innovation, management involves working with structures, policies and procedures.
