Conclusion and Evaluation: To what extent can leaders play a role in shaping their subordinates?

Difference between leadership and management.


Many people associate leadership with management and that is commonly correct because they both lie under the category - Control. However, there are significant differences between both of these movements.

Comparison

Management: By the word manager, managing is just a person who supervises, control or administering an organisation or group of staff. Managing someone is just merely to take control and steering the followers to whatever path, regardless any influence or mental impact.

Leadership: Lead, to lead is an ability, not many acquire this skill. A leader can think and steer their followers based to their own values and principle (what they believe is right themselves). Is the possession to lead in influence, the ability that requires skill and technique to lead. Leaders hold and share important values and inspire people under them. Management skills of a person may be found as a slight part of leadership skills.


Examples of differences

  • A manager maintains, a leader develops 
  • A manager does things right, a leader does the right thing 
  • A manager copies, a leader is Original 


Chairman Mao was a brilliant leader he developed his own leadership over the years in China called Maoism, it was a combination of olden theories, he combined them and made his own original set of rules. He does things not necessary rightly, but does what he thinks was right

Business is less about management and more about leadership. To what extent is this statement true? -Chairman Mao shaped his people?


Yes.
According to McGregor's theory, yes, leadership and management shapes how the people working under you think and how is their attitude towards work, it is all about the motivation and the treatment they get.

  2. In conclusion, Chairman Mao isn't a bad man, it is mostly his leadership people criticises, there are many values that we can learn from his leadership and management skills.
