LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

Leadership: providing vision and strategy, creating direction, and transforming the organization.

Management: concerning operational matters and ensuring that the organization is run most effectively and efficiently to achieve its purposes and strategies

Morrison, K. (1998). Management theories for educational change. P.205

Leadership and Management are Conceptually Different

Leadership: Doing the Right Things

Management: Doing things right

The "right" in doing the right thing is the connection between leadership and the group's shared goals - its vision and mission.
