RAMATU ISSAHLEADERSHIP MIDSIM13/04/14LEADER AND MANAGER Peter Drucker was a philosophical and practical founder of the modern business corporation. A leader in the development of management education who invented the concept known as management by objectives (MBO). He gave a quote that managers do things right and leaders do the right things. By this he meant that the manager's job is to plan, organize and coordinate while the leader is the one who will inspire and motivate. “The leader is aware that people as human beings are living systems and therefore have their own needs and desires that must be addressed by the organizational environment in light of corporate objectives and tasks. Motivating people in this context means ensuring that these two sets of goals are linked so that performance is assured. Managers follow a set standard or path while leaders explore different means to achieve their goals. “Understanding yourself will help immensely in achieving your goals.” This is because it will help you know what you are capable of and what you should delegate to others. Managing yourself depends on knowing yourself, so you can build performance on the characteristics that support your results. Most people assume that they know what they are good at and what they are not good at and that these constitute their strengths and weaknesses. Focus on your strength and do not try to build performance on your weaknesses, but rather try to manage your weakness” (Komives, 2007). Understanding yourself involves knowing your values ​​that guide your action, because beliefs shape our actions. When you are known for a strong value system based on integrity... middle of paper... and you believe in your vision and work with you to achieve your goals while managing is more about administering and creating certain that day to day things are happening as they shouldREFERENCESDedeji, L, John.
