A sample question, in the course style
The head of procurement at a large firm wants to understand how leadership differs from management. Which distinction is most accurate?
- ALeadership is about controlling day-to-day tasks; management is about setting long-term direction
- BManagement is about planning, organising and controlling to deliver the current system reliably; leadership is about setting direction, aligning and motivating people to change and improve it
- CManagement is about people, while leadership is about paperwork
- DLeadership and management are the same activity under two names
Management delivers the current system through planning, organising and controlling. Leadership sets direction and aligns and motivates people to change and improve it.
Why the others do not fit. The first option inverts the two. The paperwork comparison trivialises both, since each concerns people and systems. And they are distinct, complementary activities, not the same thing under two names.
