responsible for carrying and developing the procedure of management. Management is
dynamic by nature and evolves to meet the need of the organization's internal and external
environment, the main job of the mangers in this organization is planning, organizing,

(Walumbwa, Avolio, and Aryee, 2011).

both with competence and character; a leader’s role is to build trust in the
organization as an organization cannot work without this.

in order to build a market place in the competitive market.

recover their presentation in the organization in order to solve the issues and grow the

The 2 Important Differences between a Manager and A leader
Being a leader or a director is a viable concept, the three differences between managers and
leaders include the following.
A leader invents or innovates while a manager organizes:
The leader of the team comes up with new and innovative ideas, but a leader always sets a
parameter for developing the new strategies and techniques for the company. A leader is
someone who has huge knowledge of all the present trends, as well as skillsets and the
leaders, are also very much clear about the vision and mission of the association and the
manager, on the other hand, is someone who maintains what is established by a leader, A
manager always works according to the parameters set by the leader and his job is to manage
the employees and prevent problems in the organization (Spillane and Healey, 2010).
A manager relies on control, whereas a leader inspires trust:
A leader is a person who motivates the employee to their best and they also know ways to set
an appropriate tempo as well as the pace of the group. The managers, on the other hand, are
needed through their description of job in order to establish a control on the employees and
this also helps them in developing the assets and bringing the best out of it; the managers
understand their employees in a better manner and make them do their job effectively
(Algahtani, 2014).

From the above discussion, it is obvious that each and every section is receiving the input
from the other and the output act as an input for the other, all the functions of the business are
important in order to reach the other platform and also for the success of the business, for
example, the sales and marketing team gets the info regarding the rental place stipulations
and it helps the buying and the investigating team to get information regarding the new trends
which will help in buying or using the property. The logistics and the operation teams provide
information’s like the policies, targets and other service and the procurement team and the
production or the report of these team is helpful in expressing policies for the processes teams
from all this info it can be defensible that the purposes of each team in the organization are
unified. This sharing or interrelationship of data can make the business process well-
organized as well as efficient (Mládková, 2012).
Classical Organisation Theory:
The traditional authors watched the organization as a mechanism and human beings as
constituents of that mechanism. They were of the view that the competence of the
organization can be augmented by creating human existences well-organized. Their
importance was on specialism and co-ordination of actions. Most of the authors gave
importance to competence at the top level and few at lower levels of administration. That is
why this philosophy has given watercourses; technical organization and managerial
management. The technical organization collection was mostly troubled with the errands to
be achieved at functioning heights (Nienaber, 2010).
Henry Fayol deliberate for the chief time the values and purposes of organization. Some
authors like Gullick, Oliver Sheldon, Urwick watched the issue where documentation of
doings is essential for attaining administration goals. Group or depart mentation was also

measured essential for creating the purposes effectively. Since this theory rotates around
construction it is also called ‘structural theory of organization.”
Neo-classical theory
1. The organization in overall is a social classification collected from many interrelating
parts.
2. Relaxed groups exist inside the official administration. Both are pretentious by and disturb
each other.
3. The human existence is self-governing and his performance can be foretold in terms of
social issues at work.
4. Motivation is a multifaceted procedure. Many socio- mental factors function to motivate
human beings at work.
5. A battle among administrative and separate goals often happens. There is a necessity to
settle the goalmouths of the separate with persons of the group.
6. Team-work is vital for advanced productivity.
7. The man’s method is not continuously balanced. Often, he acts non- logically in rapports
of plunders which he pursues from his work.
8. Communiqué is essential as it transmits info for the working of the group and the
approaches of the persons at work.
