LEADERSHIP ?

What is Leadership?Leadership is influencing people to get things

done to a standard and quality above their

norm. And doing it willingly.

A leader is a person who influences a

group of people towards a specific result. It

is not dependent on title or formal authority.

Leaders are recognized by their capacity

for caring for others, clear

communication, and a commitment to

persist.

MANAGEMENT

Management is controlling people and

getting them to do things

Management is organized along

hierarchical positions and authority.

LEADER & POSITION

ability which can be developed, not

necessarily inborn, and which is

manifested in performance, not merely

potential“ -Katz (1955)

Competence can be defined as the

ability of an individual to perform a task using his/her knowledge, education, skills, and experience.
