Introduction

Managers, in most organizations, have a dual responsibility. They are responsible both to the organization and to the people in the organization. The common question that arises is how do managers deal with this dual role?

Leadership is the ability to empower others to create new management or human systems to efficiently achieve change through organizational goals and decision making. Likewise, management is the use of various means to carry on business functions.

In other words, management is the skill of dealing with things, while leadership is the art of dealing with people.
