It is a quality which is possessed by the few people in the organisation and helps in completing

divided into small teams and each team have a leader who helps the employees to complete the
task in the specified time. In the business world, the leadership is not limited to the persons but

The management is act as tools and technique used to manage the manpower of the
organisation in such way so that company are able to achieve the goals and objectives in the
effective ways. It is not only limited to then people as it includes the balance of five m’s such as
men, money , material, machine and methods. The person who take the charge of managing the
people in the organisation is known as manager of the organisation. The management involves
every small things like managing the budget, making plans for future and keep checking on all
the activities and organising the schedules and giving the advise on various situations to
employee. The most of the time, the people thinks and leadership and management are the same
things but are different from each other, as leader is person who have followers and while the
manager have human resource who work for the benefit of the organisation. The company
needs to have strong leader and manager who get their team on board to achieve the desire
outcomes in the effective ways. The good leader inspire and motivates it people to who work
better in the organsaition and good manager make the work performed by the member of the
team so that ultimate goals can be accomplished within the set time frame. (De Nobile 2018)
The key difference between the leadership and management is explain as follows:
 The leadership is a process of leading the people of the organisation by the means of
encouraging them whereas the management refers of the process managing the activities
of the organisation
 Leadership need trust from the people on their leaders and management needs control og
manager on its sub-ordinates.
 Leadership is a skill of influence the people of the company whereas management is a
quality of ruling the another member of the organisation.
 Leadership require the foresightedness of the leader and management has a short range of
the vision.
 Leadership is proactive in nature and whereas management is reactive in nature.
Leadership brings the new changes in the business and management brings the stability in the
work places. (Strehmel, 2016. )

Transformational leadership: under the transformational leadership leader encourage, inspire
and motivate the employees to create changes in their performance so that organisation can
2

achieve the targets in the set time period. It is a management style that is designed to give the
employees more time to be more creative, see the future of the organisation and finds out the
solutions to the problems. Here, the employees are trained to be leader in the future by
providing them the various training and development programs. The transformational leader is
someone who holds the following characteristic:

 Enhance the moral standards in the organisation which helps in increasing the
inputs of the employees.

Behavioural theory: it is a leadership theory that take into account of action and reaction of the
leaders and its followers in the particular situation. This type of leadership are classified as they
are focus on the study of the specific behaviours of the leader. It is also assumed that leadership
capability can be learned by taking training from the senior management in the organisation as
leader are not born , they are made in the process by conducting development programs. The
focus of the organisation is to develop the effective leader in their work environment by giving
them practical knowledge about the leadership and how to implanted such leadership quality in
another employees of the organisation so that long term goals can be achieved in the long run.
This theory helps in promoting the value of leadership in the organisation so that people
collaborated with each other and accomplished the common goals ands objectives in the proper
manner. It also promote participative in decision making and team development by giving them
important information so that organisational objectives can be achieved in the long run. It helps
the manager to evaluate the understanding among the team members so that common goals can

The training and development is a subset of the organisation which focus on improvement of the
performance of the individual or the group. Training is a process which involves the improving

their performance at the work place and achieve the set target in the most suitable conditions.
The good and effective training helps the employees to acquire new skills and knowledge which
helps them to achieve the pre-determine goals and standards in proper manner and within the
time period. The training helps in knowing where the employees stand in the present situation in
the organisation and where he will reach in future with his abilities after attainting the training
and development programs. By the training program the employees are able to learn new skills
and new methodology and refresh the existing knowledge so that they are able to complete the
task in the moist effective ways and in the time frame.
The Importance of the leadership training and development for the organisation:
For the organisation to keep improving their performance at the work place needs to have
continuous training and development programs for its employees. The competition and business
environment keeps on changing and hence it is needful for keep learning new things so that
effectiveness can be improved in the long run. Some of the importance of the training and
development are stated as follows:
 It helps in optimum utilization of the human resources in the organisation.

Need for the training and development programs: this program is very costly as it need lot of
quality inputs from the trainers and from the employees. It is also important for the organisation
to revise its goals and objective and its efficiencies with the changing work environment. The
company endorse the training and development program when the management thinks that
there is need to improve the performance of the employee and set up the benchmark of
improvement so that performance can be enhance in the organisation. It also helps in training
about specific job responsibility and skills such as communication skill and team management
(Stanley,, 2016)
