(2007)Mullins. Management is often viewed as getting different objectives done through different people in the organisation; mangers may use different techniques to handle different situations. Meanwhile leadership doesn’t always take place, in the hierarchy structure of an organisation; a leader in an organisation is seen to have enthusiastic attributes, with followers.
(2007)Watson has suggested that managers tend to depend on different structures and systems while leaders and people in the team generally share the same goal.
Difference between mangers and leaders
| leaders | managers |
| Leader is seen to have a personal and strong feeling towards his/her goal. | Mangers have a more docile attitude. |
| Mangers retain less of an emotional view in work actives . | Leaders have more an emotional view to work, and take part in different events. |
| Leaders create choice and excitement at work. | Mangers have to balance and control conflicting views. |
| Mangers are seen more as regulators, that wait for reward | Leaders generally love what they’re doing and identify themselves with the goal and not membership. |
The managerial grind makes use of five different types of leadership:
Impoverished Manager- makes use of low production /low people, the leader is generally classified as being inefficient and laid back, however this has a negative affect working environment, this usually results in a disorganised organisation.
Authoritative manger –high production/low people, this work environment has very strict rules and is a very autocratic environment, with a very productive and efficient
The team manager- Display a high level of concern and focus for both production and people issues. This is seen as very encouraging and motivating by employees.
Middle of the road leader: Medium Production/Medium People, this approach is not very motivational, and is just an average attempt to achieve goals.
While working at phones4u, the manager I had fitted into Blake and mouton’s grind because he was very laid back, and seemed to be more interested in his phone and face book, rather remembering the store is low on stock, the manager was very disorganised which lead to staff being less motivated to work hard, and put in 110%. Also this often concluded in conflict amongst the manager and other employees.
According to BBC (2006), Sir Alan Sugar, from the east end, is said to be “In some instances a blunt, non-negotiable style is really effective, especially for short-term projects when deadlines are tight.” He is also seen to be a hard worker, one of the reasons why he is undisputedly been called a good leader is because he leads by example and has gone through the hardship himself.
Lord Alan Sugar, who now has a show called the apprentice, gives people the chance be a good leader and entrepreneur like him
To conclude there are different types of leaders, but to get maximum effort from staff it’s always good to have a good leader, however some staff will always give 110%, with or without a good leader.
