Management involves efficiency and ensuring tasks are completed, while leadership determines the overall strategy and vision. Effective leadership elicits greatness from people, not imposing it, and relies on average individuals rather than geniuses. Both management and leadership require providing direction, aligning teams, building relationships, demonstrating personal qualities, and achieving outcomes, but leadership defines the overall goals while management ensures day-to-day operations support the vision.
