6.1 Leadership vs. Management

Course Overview

Management and Leadership are two distinct functions within an organization which frequently overlap. Not every leader is a good manager, and not every manager is a good leader. Both qualities are needed in a successful organization and it’s okay if they are distributed among more than one person. Some people will have strengths in both areas, while others will excel more in one than the other. What’s important is understanding the difference between the two and to know where you yourself fit in best. In this course, we will look at what makes a great manager and what makes a great leader, as well as the similarities and differences between the two roles.
