Leaders are managers. But managers are not necessarily leaders

Leadership is a method by which a person encouragements others to perform an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. This definition is similar to Northouse's (2007, p3) definition — Leadership is a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership knowledge and skills. This is called Process Leadership (Jago, 1982). However, we know that we have characteristics that can influence our actions. This is called Trait Leadership (Jago, 1982), in that it was once common to believe that leaders were born rather than made. While leadership is learned, the skills and knowledge processed by the leader can be influenced by his or hers attributes or traits; such as beliefs, values, ethics, and character. Knowledge and skills contribute directly to the process of leadership,  

Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and willpower, you can become an effective leader. Good leaders develop through a never ending process of self-study, education, training, and experience (Jago, 1982). This guide will help you through that process. 

"Management is the organizational process that includes strategic planning, setting objectives, managing resources, deploying the human and financial assets needed to achieve objectives, and measuring results.  Management also includes recording and storing facts and information for later use or for others within the organization.  Management functions are not limited to managers and supervisors. Every member of the organization has some management and reporting functions as part of their job." (Knowledge Management Terms, 2009)

Leadership and management are the terms that are considered equal. It is important to understand that leadership is a critical part of good management. As an essential component of management, remarkable leadership behavior tensions upon building an environment in which each and every employee develops and shines. Leadership is defined as the possible to impact and motivation the group efforts towards the accomplishment of objectives. This influence may make from formal sources, such as that provided by achievement of managerial position in an organization.

A manager must have qualities of a leader, i.e., he must possess leadership qualities. Leaders develop and begin strategies that build and stand good benefit. Organizations require strong leadership and strong management for optimum organizational productivity
