INTRODUCTION
Leadership is process of providing vision to employees by combining abilities and qualities
which are inbuilt in leaders, which help firm in achievement of its goals and objectives. On
the other hand management is the process of arranging organization activities for using
resources of firm in effective way and achieve the firm’s targets. Leadership provides the
path to employees on which they have to walk for achievement of firm’s goals and objective
and management is that part of firm which help firm in management of resources for that way
for smooth walk. Leadership is based on number of academic theories such as trait theory,
behavioural theory, transformational theory and many others. these all guide a persona in
leading origination which different ways according to size of firm and its operation , they all
help in management of culture, politics and behaviour of employee in firm, where all
employees work with motivation and enthusiasm, which help them in increasing performance
in working (Bush, 2016). This will also leads in productivity and maximising profits of firm.
Trait theory help in the type of leader for good leader, behavioural theory is that which is
related to work of leader that what leader do and what are the works of good leader. Some of
these theories are stated in these essays which are related to development of leadership skills
in individual for guiding the origination. Here are some key roles of individual which will in
motivating the entire staff. One of the leadership programme of NHS will also discussed
which help the new individuals in getting favourable to leadership and use that skills in
guidance of firm in getting advantage of them. The difference and similarity in leadership
will also discussed here for betterment of both the concepts.
MAIN BODY
Leadership: It is a function where individual possess number of qualities and use the
in influencing the behaviour of individual for development and growth of origination by
considering firms target and objectives for long run. Leadership also provide vision to
employee which the help of its functions which can help individual in self-growth by
complying with organization targets(Faizan, 2016). There are numbers of roles which in
leader perform in firm which make him ample of eye for firm as well as individual in firm,
some of these roles are guiding behaviour, providing vision, help in achievement of personal
objective, find out capabilities of individual and guiding the employees towards firm goals
and objective.
Management: Management is that process which is related to administration where firm can
exercise the right for managing its functions and promote all the actives in firm. Management
is a whole concept which is exercisable by any type of firm which are related to profit or non-
profit firm. There are number of benefits which can be used by manager. This is a goal
directed process which helps management in managing the whole functions of firm. It can
also explain as academic disciple whom can be exercise by firm in there working.
Management includes five function’s which are given by Henry Fayol, these functions are
planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling (Podsakoff and Podsakoff, 2019).

These all help in proper utilizing the resources and also lead in following the path which is
given by leadership.
Similarity between leadership and management
Leadership and management is tow different concept which have number of
deference. But there is some common point which shows that they both are combined to
each, as management is in complete without leadership and vice versa. The first common
point between both is that supervisor in their core, this is because management is that activity
which is administration for supervision of employee to do work in firm and leadership is that
process which supervises employees in the direction of firm goals, so both are related to
supervision of employees in firm. Here the next similarity in both the function is that there is
accountably of results which are arising after the performance of both the functions in firm.
Management performs it function and its liability of management is to take all the
responsibility and be accountable for the outcomes which are arise no matter they are positive
or negative it have to be accountable for both. In leadership the leader is accountable and
responsible for employee performance because they perform under it (Gold and Thorpe,
2016). there is also a similarity between both that they measure performance of employees,
here leader use different tools as management but evolution of performance is done in both
they of concept, the techniques used in measurement of perforce are same and if employee
losses in performance that they have same type if motivation tool in there working for
bringing motivation and help in improvement of performed. Mode of communications is also
similar in both of these are thy both require better communication for enabling there
employees about the information communication also help in management of firms profits as
it reduces the chances of conflict because of lack in information.
Difference between leadership and management
Leadership and management are those things which are survive in origination with each other
but there are many points which show that there are many differences in both off them.
Leadership is based on trust between employees and employer or leader where managed is
strictly based on control in origination which is its main focus , the one more major
difference between both is their emphasis, as management have its main focus on managing
activities of employees where leadership have emphasis on inspiring employees in firm
(Long, 2017). Management perform the role of bringing stability in organization where
leader perform the role of innovation and think-tank in business this help firm in getting more
advance in dynamic business. So it can be seen that management and leadership are different
functions which are required by every firm but they have to be managed by equality for
getting advantage for long run. Leaders are always proactive as they believes in taking
decision and then make them right on the other hand manager are the one who have reactive
nature , they respond to and activity after happening of it . They have control nature which
restricts manager to be proactive and this also become the point of difference between these
two. The range of vision also act as the difference between these two function this is because
manager have the short term vision because it is major there work to see what will happen in
future the have to maker control any on present activates and leader have forested vision as
they are lading employee for future and this is there min aim to prepare employee for future

where they can survive and build and quality environment for business. These all are some
points which make difference between management and leadership
Theories of leadership
There are number of theories which can be used by leaders for improving their leadership
skills. This theory will also help them in getting access to number of options and
opportunities which will arise by serving the firm in its operations. Two of these theory are
transformational theory and behavioural theory.
Transformational theory
Transformational leadership is the theory of leadership style in which leaders motivate,
encourage and guide the employees, teams or groups and also promote trust and faith
between them to achieve the organizational goals in effective manner. This leadership theory
believes that leaders have good interactive and communication skills which influence and
attracts the employees to perform well in the organization. This is also assumed that
followers or employee’s values, emotions, standards and goals can be changed by the leaders.
Transformational leadership is the procedure of motivating and encouraging and maintain or
create a good relationship between leaders and employees. Leaders need to maintain focus on
the followers and try to help them to understand their ability and potential(de Oliveira,
Cavazotte and Alan Dunzer, 2019)Transformational leaders are the strong role model for the
followers, motivate and influence the followers also boost their moral to achieve unexpected
or remarkable results. Leaders also influenced the followers to share their innovative and
creative idea to achieve the organizational goals. Leaders teach their followers how to handle
difficult situation and how to deal with the conflicts and issues in the organization.
Transformational leaders take care of the followers needs and wants and help them to fulfil
their needs through personal challenges. Power of transformational leader is that they
highlight their follower’s values, ethics, emotions, needs, and morals. And this satisfy,
motivate the followers and increase the level of performs of the followers. followers of
transformational leadership are motivated, engaged, satisfied, and the positive attitude, less
stress and perform high then expected level, this is very effective style of leadership which
attracts and influenced the followers to perform well and increase the level of performance.
To become effective and good transformational leader, one is need to perform four types of
behaviour. First is ‘Idealized influence’ this category influence on that leader need to become
strong role model for the followers, by influencing and setting positive example for the
followers a leader can become a strong role model. Through their measures or steps a leader
can convey and transmit their ethical values with actions. Leaders work with their team or
followers on common goal and leaders make some sacrifice to help the followers to
understand the goal. Such kind of behaviour of the leaders earns respect and influences the
followers towards leaders’ character and behaviour. Second category is ‘Inspiration
motivation’ it include development of a better and promising vision for the future and
transmit the vision to the followers by using inspiring stories, case studies, vivid imaginary
etc. it also includes encouraging and motivating followers to work hard and go far above than
roles and responsibilities to achieve the shared vision (Gould, Gallagher and Allen, 2016).
The third category is ‘Intellectual stimulation’ this involves motivating followers in order to
solve the day to day problems, issues by using or developing creative and innovative ideas to

solve the problems. In this leaders try to perform according to the followers because
sometimes followers think out of the box and give effective ideas to the leaders. The forth
category is ‘Individualized Consideration’ it includes teaching, guiding and coaching the
followers to achieve the organizational goal within the time frame. Good and effective
leaders always maintain good relationship with the followers and encourage them to perform
well.
Behavioural theory
Behavioural leadership theories are the theories which study a leader's behaviour in a
conditioned situation. This helps us to find real marketing potential of an individual. It helps
us to analyse the effect of behaviour of leaders on the workforce and environment. One major
factor which defines the behaviour of a leader is the activities performed by them. We
generally deal with the two types of theories named as "Michigan Leadership Studies” and
“Ohio State Leadership Studies”. When we talk about former, it is the theory that talks about
the styles of leader behaviour those results in higher performance and satisfaction of a group.
It includes analysis of 2 years leadership style tasks and employee-oriented styles. It focuses
on behaviour of leaders. The latter focuses on observable behaviour of leaders and ignores
their traits. It is named after Ohio State University as it is a series of study conducted by them
in 1945. It shows initiating structure and consideration as two distinct dimensions. They both
need to be balanced. A low score on one does not require a high score in other (Deters, 2017).
They both have different orientations. While initiating structure is task oriented,
consideration is people oriented. This leadership theory can be used to for studying behaviour
of leader in different situation which help an individual in meeting a situation which can be
arise in future. this help then in coadunation with that situation and handle number of
problem in near future, this theory also help in studding the behave of employee within the
oration to guide them towards goal with the help of motivation and transformation tools,
motivation will bring among them by identifying there need and fulfil them using suitable
method of motivation according to need of employee.
