Leadership have different definitions given by different authors and practitioners, but generally it is relationship in which the behaviour or actions of people are influenced by one person.
‘’Leadership is the process of influencing a group within an organisation towards achieving an aim or goal’’ (Johnson, Scholes & Whittington, 20011:471).
According to Yukl leadership is:-
‘’The process of influencing others to understand and agree about what needs to be done and how to do it
And the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish sharedobjectives.’’ (Yukl, 2010:26) Individuals and organisations performance is influenced by the leadership because it is a two-way process. To enable their followers to function effectively leader motivate their followers and design organisational contexts. If the group is influenced or motivated by the leader and give their full effort to reach the desired goal then the performance of the company automatically improved. MANAGEMENT
As Mullins said Management is ‘’Getting work done through the efforts of other people.’’ (Mullins, 2010:434)
Manager is the person who performs the function of management by using the available resources efficiently and effectively to accomplish desired goals and objectives.
