abilities and leadership abilities. I can state that leadership is a further extension of a
managerial abilities you possess (Huettermann, Hendrik; Bruch, Heike, 2020). For example,
in my very organisation our company’s Board of Directors appointed Mr. Johnson as a
manager of our department. We all felt the change in his ability as a leader there after. Today
he is leading the whole department from the front which was never seen before in his
personality”.
Student 2: I am not convince with the views presented by student 1 about manager and
leader. “I feel that leadership is an inherent ability that an individual possess. I don’t feel
that you can be a great leader only if you achieve a managerial position role at any
organisation. I believe that both these designated positions are different from each other. Yes
I feel you can be both a good manager and a good leader as well at the same time
(Selvarajah, Christopher; Meyer, Denny; Dahanayake, 2020). Many cases have been seen
where an individual was never been over a position role of manager but now become a very
successful leader. For example in my very own company Miss. Lina Watson appointed as a
team leader. She is diretly promoted at the team leader position from the junior level.
Currently in her leadership our whole team could achieve the results that we never expected
as a team. She was never at a managerial role but became an effective leader we all deserved.
I feel leadership is a quality but managerial capabilities are more like a learning outcome”.
This entire discussion was carry forwarded by student 3 through stating that: yes I totally
agree with the views presented by student 2 over leadership. “I personally noticed that if an
individual holds a good leadership abilities than entire management and board like him to
hold the managerial position as in every organisation manager is the individual that take all
decisions. Leaders hold the long term vision and critical mind-set which favour the to take the
bets level of decisions in favour of the business entity. I feel leadership is a quality that can
never be learnt by an individual yes I feel management is something which you can learn
with the spam of time and experience. In my company for example out senior most manager
Mr. Steven Smith, he was really efficient even in the beginning of his career. He had this
good leadership abilities like critical thinking, motivated personalities, innovative thinking,
communication skill and many such that is a strong reflection of good leadership abilities
were appointed as a manager of our production department (Løvaas, Beat and et.al.,2020).
At the initial stage of his career as a manager he faced plenty of problems and challenges due
to lack of experience of managerial position role. He was completely misbalanced as a
manager in term of results and mismanagement at work place. Over the period due to good
