LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT by John Museredzo

Management seeks to establish and maintain order, structure and predictable certainty in the organization in order to achieve requisite deadlines and performance objectives. Too much emphasis on leadership at the expense of management will lead to misdirected effort, lack of order, unnecessary chaos and poor achievements. Below is a table comparing and contrasting leadership and management:
