  • Essay / Leadership and management: the development of Nelson...

    If Nelson Mandela were asked to lead Unilever, where would Unilever be now? I grew up in the Buhera community, where traditionally girls engaged in forced marriages soon after completing secondary school. Unexpectedly, in 2006, Dr. Nathalie Kahle founded the Girls Empowerment Movement (GEM), which went against tradition. Most people use the Leadership and Management dimensions synonymously because they both hold a certain degree of authority. Likewise, I wondered if Dr. Kahle was a good manager; his ability to plan, control and organize or a good leader; his desire for change. However, social ecologist Peter Drucker has argued that while there is a relationship, there is a line between leadership and management: “Management does things right; leadership is about doing good things. » Peter's definition implies that management follows leadership. Doing the right things means that a leader must make fact-based decisions using appropriate techniques. Doing things well involves undertaking what has been set by someone; organization.

Finally, although there are some similarities between management and leadership, the two dimensions are distinct. Organizations need both insightful and effective people; leaders as well as those who are effective and plan using the lenses of the organization; managers. You can be a good leader while having good managerial skills. Leaders and managers need to understand themselves, but the way they make decisions about people is different. Leadership takes into account all the 4Es, but management is much more about execution..
