Leadership Vs Management is the topic that is used more in the industry. There are subtle differences between the two words and they are not the same. From the birth of the industrial revolution and even earlier than that the people who work had these qualities and are known for these qualities in the history of mankind.
The managers are the people who have subordinates and make them work towards a common goal. The leaders are the people who have followers and they teach and preach what they practice. Do people have both qualities? Or Do people become managers or leaders because of their birth or developed traits? There is nothing wrong with being a manager or leader. Because one has to go through the circle of influence or provide the power of influence when they acquire these traits and become either managers or leaders.
Some are born with either of these qualities to become a manager or leader from birth. As you read history you will find out that because of these individual qualities the people with managerial or leadership skills have made a name for themselves in history. We are not debating who is great or who the best is. Both have their places and tend to produce their influence to accomplish something in the business, or politics or industry, or any other topic of consideration.
