1. Understanding the links and differences between management and leadership
1.1 Discuss the concept of leaders as effective managers
Leadership and management go hand in hand but is not the same thing, but are linked and compliment each other.
There has been debate about the difference between leadership and management. With some believing there is no distinction, while others that they should be separated in two defined roles.
A common definition is:
Management is about the day to day running of a function and getting the right people and resources in the right place with a focus upon implementation.
Leadership is about creating a vision for that function and gaining peoples commitment by strategic direction.
(NHSBT 5013 Workshop booklet)
Effective management deals with resources, finances, time management and the coordination and control over these elements. Managers set goals and focus on reaching their targets.
Have good organizational skills and will place people in roles to get the job the task complete. Have detailed planning taking into account adverse events that could prevent them completing task or achieving target.
If the outcome gives worse results than expected an effective manager will look to provide a solution.
Effective leadership deals with the people their opinions, behaviour and attitude. They will inspire and engage people to follow them and vision.
Focus is on building relationships with people around them, can be an effective part of team and lead it at the same. Effective leaders teach others, learn themselves and are able to admit mistakes righting wrongs and apologising quickly. They can adapt to issues and problems if they arise, confronting reality and issues head on.
Leaders will develop trust and subsequently is able to practise accountability, holding themselves and others accountable along with responsibility for results.
