LEADERSHIP ?

What is Leadership?Leadership is influencing people to get things done to a standard and quality above their norm. And doing it willingly.

A leader is a person who influences a group of people towards a specific result. It is not dependent on title or formal authority.

Leaders are recognized by their capacity for caring for others, clear communication, and a commitment to persist.

MANAGEMENT

Management is controlling people and getting them to do things

Management is organized along hierarchical positions and authority.

LEADER & POSITION

Leadership is not about position. People in position of authority are not all leaders.

A skill can be defined as "an ability which can be developed, not

necessarily inborn, and which is manifested in performance, not merely

potential“ -Katz (1955)

What is Competency?

Competence can be defined as the ability of an individual to perform a task using his/her knowledge, education, skills, and experience.

Herringer (2002)
