Today’s business world moves fast, and knowing the difference between managing and leading is more important than ever. Management is about planning, organizing, and making sure resources run smoothly. Leadership, on the other hand, is about inspiring and energizing people so everyone works toward a shared goal.
As we deal with today’s complicated organizations, we need to see that solid leadership can spark success, encourage new ideas, and build a great workplace culture. In this piece, we’ll break down the differences between the two roles and show how a management style grounded in leadership can take a business to the next level.
