Leadership and Management Paper
In today’s society, most individuals mistake management and leadership. Leaders and managers need to understand what each entity has to do to be successful in a business or organization. The understanding of essence between the difference of the two, understanding the roles are different in many ways; however, overlapping to accomplish the goals. If there was one without the other, for example leadership without management sets a direction or vision that others follow. A workplace can have leaders who don’t manage, for example an entrepreneur might build a business or organization by networking, and generating innovative ideas for new products. This paper will explain not the roles of leadership and management in a business or company, but how an individual in history is a leader and what were their measures for success.
History
Born to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, Abraham Lincoln born Feb 12, 1809 in a log cabin in the backwoods of Hardin Co KY, and had almost no formal schooling, taught himself to read by rereading small stock books. In 1830, he moved to Macon Co Ill. Abraham Lincoln a self-taught manager won popularity among inhabitants of the frontier town.
Manager
Abraham worked in a store and managed a mill in his younger days. He had a strong character, and his sincerity and capability gained the respect by people in this rough society. Abraham was a captain of a volunteer company in the Black Hawk War of 1832; however, the company did not see battle. Abraham also partnered a grocery store that failed that left him with debt. Abraham did not stop; if one venture failed then he just found something else to do, for example, surveying, postmaster and various odd jobs. While managing his time wisely, he improved his education as well as studying law.
Leader
Elected to state legislature in 1834, Abraham
