According to theconcept of leadership it is a person who leads or guides the whole team or organisation with thehelp of its skills and behaviour. It can be an innovative person with a creative mind who helps tothe whole firm in its success. This is not so much broad concept because a there is one leader inany group who leads the team and enforce them to work together and promotes the feeling oftogetherness(Allio, 2012). A manager is that person who helps in the organisation to manage all the functions andactivities in a firm. It helps to all the employees to work effectively and provide growth to themand also helps in analyse the whole functions of management to work properly andsystematically. On the other hand concept of management is vast and broad, it includes all the functionswhich are taking place in an organisation as well as leadership is also includes in this term. Thereare five basic functions of a management which are:1.Planning
