Management versus Leadership
Warren Bennis, the leadership guru has differentiated leadership from management with two simple acronyms:
1. The management acronym POEM means: ‘Plan, Organise, Execute and Monitor and Measure’. This is quite different from
2. The leadership acronym MAST, which means: ‘Meaning, Attention, Self and Trust’:
- MANAGEMENT OF MEANING - what does this mean for us / our company?
- MANAGEMENT OF ATTENTION - if this is important, then we’d better focus on the following activities, and importantly STOP these other activities).
- MANAGEMENT OF SELF is fairly obvious although I’ve seen many leaders transgress this simple principle by contravening their own espoused principles.
- MANAGEMENT OF TRUST is another key leadership element: True leadership will require a special brand of honesty if trust is to be built – this honesty tempers hype with business sense, and filters everything through the organisation’s strategic intent.

Bennis Updated Factors of Leadership More recently Bennis mentions 4 somewhat different or updated factors that are essential for leaders in an environment of complexity and turbo-change, regardless of culture and context:
1. Adaptive capacity (sense of resilience, hardiness and creativity, seizing opportunities, learning)(~Management of Attention?).
2. Capacity to engage followers in a shared meaning (~Management of Meaning).
3. Finding out who they themselves are (emotional intelligence, ~Management of Self).
4. Rely on a moral compass (a set of principles, a belief system, a set of convictions).
Depending on the context these 4 factors need to be supplemented with other factors. (Business, The Ult. Resource, 2nd edition, p259)

Background Bennis To appreciate the leadership thinking of Bennis well, you should know that he grew up during WWII, at the time when iconic figures such as Churchill, Roosevelt, Hitler and Mussolini were dominating the world. Furthermore, Bennis was an admirer of Douglas McGregor (Theory X Y). Bennis' thinking implements Theory Y from the perspective of leadership.

Re-unite Management and Leadership It seems that Leadership has been successfully removed from the work of Management in most everyone's mind. Management was once seen as the blending of four functions - Planning, Organizing, Leading and Auditing. Leadership was seen as the work a manager does to inspire others to pursue the goals of the organization.
Since Bennis has a new POEM for management, I wonder if anyone has ever successfully executed in an organizational environment without leading. Once you remove leading as work that a manager does, you can and must create all sorts of plausible reasons for failure. In the end it is all leadership failure. Maybe we should re-unite the concepts of Leadership and Management?

Natures of Managers and Leaders Maybe a more fundamental viewpoint of management versus leadership perspectives lies within their fundamental natures (which I think Bennis is trying to luminate).
Manager - Tactics, shorter scope, objective based, detail driven (reacts to situations, plans based upon more immediate objectives)
Leader - Strategy, broad based, long range, directional (views threats, opportunities, resource needs, needed compentencies, etc.)

Leadership & Management Agreeing with others, it is opined that Leadership is the Soul of Management. This maxim is justified since the whole concept represents a process that originates from the compelling desire and dream envisioning the result, embedded with ability and willingness to move and exploit resources at command, to achieve the said desire.
Leadership is the softer aspect of management that is hard enough to inspire, instill and motivate given resources to deliver the results. If this is not true, the the questions remains: why someone leads?

Leadership-Vision versus Management-Control Leadership is setting a new direction or vision for a group that follows the leader`s vision.
A Leader is the spearhead for that new directon. For example Joshua Nkomo and Nelson Mandela both men were leaders of armed struggles against oppressive regimes, but they never carried a gun to fight the enemies directly but so many people followed their vision of a free society with equal rights for all the people.
Management controls and directs people or resources in a group, according to principles or values that are already established.

Difference Between Leader and Manager The leader can be a manager but the manager can not be a leader.
Leadership is created with the human because leadership is an inherent thing. Management is brought by studying its principles in the schools, institutes and universities, however leadership is not.
In spite of this the talk I want to say that humans can gain leadership via patience, perseverance and learning the leader character but he can not similar to real leader who is created as a leader, maybe I seem paradoxical with my talks but this is not, I see every word I am saying.

Leadership vs. Management I appreciate all that I learned from the various posts regarding this subject matter. However there might be an additional thought that I might suggest. The basic difference in a leader and a manager is the motivation of the one leading:
- Management denotes control of people, places or things. We all enjoy the title of manager or leader because it tends to elevate us.
- A leader is not so concerned about control but in accomplishing the vision. Rather than controlling, the leader assists others who want also to reach that vision.
This is not to diminish the leader's obligation of sharing and building a vision for the other. Vision of fulfilling a need or passion is what motivates. Once received, the leader then examples and facilitates for the other while pursuing the purpose.

Leaders PULL and Managers PUSH Joan Ginebra in her remarkable book 'Liderazgo y La Acción, Mitos y Realidades (Spanish Edition' (Leadership and Action) states that to be a leader you shall have followers which perceive that the the leader "wants my well being", " looks like he is able", "what he states is worthy". In brief he creates action to a pulling vision. This what I named motivation (motive for action),
The difference between Managers and Leaders is the process used to move people to a goal. The Manager use a PUSH process (defining what shall be done, goals, teaching how to do it, measuring the work done versus goals and rewarding / punishing the work well / bad done.
The Leader PULL his people to a worthy goal i.e. 'we will become a world class company' or 'we are building a new country' instead of: 'we need to increase productivity 300 % to reach international levels' By doing so they are generating MotivAction (Motives for Action to reach a worthy goal), (key communication of the goal as a worthy one to pursue).
PUSH = external motivation, PULL = internal motivation, (big challenges need inner. Transcendental motivation).
