"Leadership is doing the right things, Management is doing things right"
Leadership in managing an organization mainly deals with setting the right direction for the organization. In other words it includes not only determining the objectives and goals to accomplish but also showing the right path to achieve them. This is nothing but being effective. In other words, according to Peter Drucker’s word, doing right things.
Management mainly deals with the carrying out of all organizational activities and ensuring that the end results or goals are achieved with minimum wastage of organizational resources. This is nothing but making sure that with the minimum usage of physical, HR, financial and informational resources to accomplish a task within the set time. This is nothing but being efficient, in other words doing things right.
For any organization to succeed in today’s global competitive environment, most important requirement is nothing but good leadership, to establish the vision, mission and strategies. But to achieve these mission and to realize the goals, good management of the available scarce organizational resources is also very important.
Thus efficiency and effectiveness can be related to two sides of the same coin. Because one cannot substitute the other, but doing right things (effectiveness) and doing things right (efficiency) are complementing each other. Thus leadership ensures effectiveness and management make sure that you are efficient.
