Or another way to put it is that leadership deals with where you are going, and management deals more with how to get there.

Or, leadership rallies people to a better future, and management speeds up the reaction between each employee’s talents and the company’s goals. That’s the distinction Marcus Buckingham makes in his book _The One Thing You Need to Know_, and it’s the best I’ve read on the subject.

A lot more could be said on this, as the difference between management and leadership is a big discussion. But that’s how I’d try to define the difference in a few words.
