Leadership and management work together to achieve the set objectives but they have some differences. While leadership captures concepts, convinces educational visions and overall direction but management ensures that principles are implemented as required by the educational leadership, according to Olan Kazim (1992) in Emmanuel Akuma (2008) are summarized as follows:
|
Leadership |
Management |
|
|
1 |
Leadership is a quality |
Management is a science and an art |
|
2 |
Leadership provides vision |
Management supplies realistic perspective |
|
3 |
It deals with concepts |
It deals with functionality |
|
4 |
Leadership assumes |
Management faces facts |
|
5 |
It seeks for effectiveness |
It strives for efficiency |
|
6 |
Leadership provides direction |
Management controls |
A close look on the table above reveals that leadership and management have some differences but also related. When the functions of the two disciplines are integrated towards finding solution to educational problems, the outcome is obviously excellent.
