INDUSTRY Engr Dr Aede Hatib Mustaamal

WHAT IS MANAGEMENT?

Management is about coping with complexity. It brings order and consistency

to an organization by drawing formal

plans, designing rigid organizational

structures, and monitoring results against

the plans (John Kotter)

WHAT IS A LEADERSHIP?

the action of leading a group of people or an organization, or the ability to do this.

Leadership is about coping with change. Leaders establish direction by developing a

vision of the future; then align people by

communicating this vision and inspiring

them to overcome hurdles (John Kotter)

The ability of a superior to influence the behaviour of subordinate and persuade

them to follow a particular course of action (Chester Barnard)

THE NEED OF BOTH

Organizations need both strong leadership and strong management for optima

effectiveness. While a good leader may tell

the organization where to go, it still takes

good managers to ensure they get there in

one piece.

SOURCE OF POWER

Source of leadership power according to French and Raven (1960):

Legitimate power comes solely from the position the superiors holds in an organization

Reward power comes by means of promotion, salary increases and interesting assignments

Expert power comes from the leader possessing superior knowledge of the matter under discussion

Referent power comes from the fact that subordinates identify with the leader and respect

him/her

Coercive power comes from forced actions and potential for punishment
