(Outcomes 1)

Theorists believe that Managers deal with day to day duties of the workplace; focussing on organising, planning and dealing with the resources.
Leaders are said to be more visionary; having a greater focus on inspiring and motivating staff.
Managers set targets and goals and monitor the outcome whereas Leaders develop and motivate staff to achieve the targets and goals set.
As a leader you would expect to have a role model someone who leads by example. A good leader inspires, motivates and develops team members.
According to Forster (2005) “Leadership in English Speaking countries is derived from an old Anglo Saxon word Ioedan meaning a way road path or journey while Management originates from the Latin word for hand Manus which means literally to make things by hand.
Northouse states “Management produces order and consistency whereas leadership produces change and movement.”
Managers look to retain the “status quo” whereas Leaders are looking at improvements that can be made to a process.
