Leadership is working with goals and vision; management is working with objectives.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Management's job is to convey leadership's message in a compelling and inspiring way. Not just in meetings, but also by example.

Managers will tell people what to do, whereas leaders will inspire them to do it, and there are a few things that go into the ability to inspire.

Leadership is a way of thinking, a way of acting and, most importantly, a way of communicating.

To me, leadership is about encouraging people. It's about stimulating them. It's about enabling them to achieve what they can achieve - and to do that with a purpose.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.

Basically, managing is about influencing action. Managing is about helping organizations and units to get things done, which means action. Sometimes, managers manage actions directly. They fight fires. They manage projects. They negotiate contracts.
