This document discusses the differences between management and leadership. It defines management as planning, organizing, integrating and measuring activities according to Peter Drucker. Leadership is defined as influencing values, behaviors and attitudes of others. The key differences outlined are that managers focus on systems and structure while leaders focus on developing people and inspiring trust. Effective organizations likely need both management and leadership skills combined. The conclusion is that there is no perfect leader or manager, and the best solution may be a combination of the two approaches.
