Question

Organization serves as the conduit in which management or a manager uses to control the organization by systematically aligning people, resources or both in such a way to accomplish a specific objective.

What is the manager’s perspective of leadership? How does it differ from the leader’s perspective? Managers focus on process, procedure, and implementation of the organization’s purpose. A manager's perspective is about getting the job done and keeping stability. The leader is about change and moving workers toward the organization's vision. For a manager, the area of overlap comes in terms of the need to use “soft or people skills” to get the work done. It can be said that the manager motivates while the leader empowers. In the following five quotes each leader is commenting on the perspective of a manager in an organization as opposed to a leader. , how should a manager approach his or her job? What ideas should be their watch words? Think of things like setting goals, making decisions, motivating employees and allocating resources. What mindset should a good manager have to approach these tasks? “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.” Peter Drucker "Management is doing the right things the right way (effective and efficiency); Leadership is doing the right things the right way (effective and efficiency) for the right reasons (ethics)." Robert Steiger “Leadership is working with goals and vision; management is working with objectives.” Russell Honore “When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.” Warren Buffett “Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.” Paul Hawken “Management is nothing more than motivating other people.” Lee Iacocca

Explanation / Answer

I was working in a public sector unit chemical plant. We have a shutdown of a month to maintain the machines. The planning of the shutdown starts from 6 months earlier. The shutdown goes for 24 hours for a month. And each and every part of the machine has to be taken care. Management does all the planning for the man power providing, budget providing, all the tools and technical gudance provided.

Now the incharge that is the leader has to decide that which labour has to be put where and on which shift. He has to take the decision about hte scheduling of the job and at which time of the day it should be carried out. The whole procedure has to be taken care by the incharge.

So the difference about the manager and leader is clearly stated. The manager work for doing the right thing. And the leaders are doing the right things at the right time with the efficiency.
