2. WHAT IS LEADERSHIP
It is the action of leading a group of people or an organization,
or the ability to do this.
Management

3. LEADERSHIP VS MANAGEMENT
The main difference between leaders and managers is that
leaders have people follow them while managers have people
who work for them.
A successful business owner needs to be both a strong leader
and manager to get their team on board to follow them
towards their vision of success.
Leadership is about getting people to understand and believe
in your vision and to work with you to achieve your goals
while managing is more about administering and making sure
the day-to-day things are happening as they should.

focuses on people.

why.

the leader’s eye is on the horizon.
5. – The manager imitates; the leader originates.
– The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
– The manager is the classic good soldier; the leader is his or
her own person.
– The manager does things right; the leader does the right
thing.
