Abstract:
There are differences between management and leadership. The purpose of this review is to determine the differences between management and leadership. The results obtained from this review showed that management and leadership are two completely distinct functions. Although management and leadership have many similar tasks, including working with employees and influencing others to achieve goals, management skills are used for planning, structuring, and directing organizational systems to carry out missions and objectives, while leadership skills are used to focus on creating potential change by setting direction, aligning and coordinating people, and creating motivation and enthusiasm. Leadership and management must go hand in hand (these two have a close relationship and cannot be considered separately from each other). These two are not the same concepts, but they are certainly related to each other and complement one another. Any attempt to separate these two will most likely create problems rather than solving them.
Machine summary:
Although management and leadership have many similar tasks, including working with employees and influencing others to achieve goals, management skills are used for planning, structuring, and directing organizational systems to perform missions and objectives, while leadership skills are used to focus on creating potential change through setting direction, aligning and coordinating individuals, and creating motivation and enthusiasm.

Furthermore, Ylitalo in 6 year 2004 stated that managers focus on structural, instrumental, and task processes, while leaders are more involved in professional work, social, and communicative aspects.
Furthermore, research shows that for an individual to become an effective leader, they must possess common behaviors and characteristics such as self-confidence, a service-oriented mindset, good coaching skills, reliability, expertise, responsibility, good listening skills, idealism or vision, realism, the ability to understand priorities, honesty, willingness to share, strong self-esteem, technical or field-specific skills, and insight and cognition (Bennis and Nanus, 1997).
The duties of both leadership and management include influencing, working with employees, and striving to achieve common goals (Guardian, 3 2013).
Leadership has been defined as a behavior, a style, a skill, a process, a responsibility, an experience, one of the duties related to management, a position of authority, an influential relationship, a characteristic, and an ability (Northouse, 2007).
