Management and Leadership in the Future
Management and leadership can exist absent one another, and have done so in the past. Management is the compilation of various skills and tasks required to ensure day to day operation of a business. Leadership is a skill or ability that should be included in management. In times past, management has been considered successful even without a manager possessing or exhibiting leadership skill and ability. However, highly successful management does not exist absent good leadership. As the concept of management moves toward the future, it is important for executives to ensure managers possess leadership skill. ... Delegation and direction should continue to be a part of management, but management in the future should also include empowerment and vision, which are more commonly seen with the use of effective leadership.
