Leadership and Management

[left_side]
What is the difference between leadership and management and why does it matter to every team leader or manager?
The difference between management and leadership is that where leadership is concerned with the culture of an organisation or a team, management is concerned with the more detailed behaviours of the members of that organisation or team. Both have an impact on performance and results.

Many Managers or Team Leaders tend to manage far more than they lead. Whilst effective in some situations, managing situations can sometimes not solve them.

Leadership looks more at the underlying reasons why there is an issue. So where management tends to deal with issues, leadership deals with the underlying issue.

Client

GlobalCollect started in 1994 as a division of TNT in order to add value to its distribution services by enabling international publishers to invoice worldwide as well as to accept payments in local currencies.  As a result, GlobalCollect managed to establish a unique worldwide financial network, which enabled customers to outsource their entire collection and reconciliation process.

Background

The management level included both team leaders and Vice Presidents. As the business grows the challenges for these people in terms of both managing and leading also grows.
