T he line between good organizational management and good leadership is unclear and arbitrary. Many of the skills required for good leadership is different from those required for good management. Good management will often require leadership when change is needed and good leadership will often require management as the process of change proceeds. Management is not required in every situation that requires leadership.

M anagers are task oriented for the relatively short range. Leaders focus on broader goals and objectives for the long range. Managing, in contrast, is making sure that things are done correctly and efficiently. Both are essential in today's world.
