There is a distinction between management and leadership. Management is about planning, budgeting, and process. Leadership is about vision, strategy, and motivation. There is actually a spectrum between the two and, within modern organisations, individuals are required to move back and forth along the spectrum depending on circumstances and position.

According to Warren Bennis:

A Manager	A Leader
Administers Is a copy Maintains Focuses on systems & structure Relies on control Has a short-range view Accepts the status quo	Innovates Is an original Develops Focuses on people Inspires trust Has a long-range perspective Challenges the status quo

Leadership roles

Senge

Peter Senge poposes that three types of management must work together to create successful change.

Executive leaders (senior management)

• developing governing ideas
• designing infrastructure for reward, performance management, learning – an environment to encourage innovation and change
• teaching and mentoring local line leaders
• serving as role models

Local Line Leaders (middle and junior management, technical experts)

• design products and services
• overcoming obstacles
• showing commitment & energy at the front line
• need executive leaders and network leaders

Network leaders (internal or external experts, facilitators)

• guides, advisors, active helpers, providing insight
• accesses (resources from elsewhere)
• work at interfaces between project groups, functions and teams
• working in partnership with line leaders
