Abstract:
Looking at management and leadership, there appears to be many thought on the subject and this literature review looks into some of them. It appears that nowadays leadership is considered distinct from management but that was not always the case, the study of (J Bruce & Hinkin, 1998) shows that some similarities exist between the two, another study by Caroline Hulme also makes distinction between leadership and management but also says that the lack of a defining term for both is hindering further understanding of how to measure them, James Kotterman on the other hand believes that management is relatively new as it emerged with the rise of the complex organization.
Management and leadership are essential in the modern world, and have for some time been considered the same as the other except for recent years (Caroline Hulme, 2006), and running an efficient operation is linked to good managerial practices. This paper will investigate wither management and leadership could be considered the same thing, or that they are two distinct roles that cover many aspects of business, and may overlap sometimes, as such there are two sets of thinking, the first differentiates between managers and leaders on the bases that not every manager is a leader, while the other uses them interchangeably on the bases that a good manager would be a leader.
In the study conducted by (J Bruce Tracey & Timothy Hinkin, 1998) titled transformational leadership or effective managerial practices tried to answer if the idea of a transformational leadership, which is characterized as a process of motivating employees by appealing to higher moral values and ideals (Burns,1978), is distinct from several fundamental managerial practices and thus could be considered separate and distinct from effective managerial practices, they
