Paper Summary:

It is thought that leadership and management are equally as important. A positive outlook indicates that strong leadership qualities such as seizing opportunities, taking risks, and empowering others can be combined with managerial skills to create the greatest potential for successfully leading an organization to a healthy, profitable future. This paper discusses the relationship between leadership and management providing examples of how to combine these skills in the the workplace in order to achieve organizational goals.

From the Paper:

"In today's competitive business world a leader who places importance on rapid change and innovation will be able to keep the pace with industry standards. To be effective it may be necessary to take risks and seize opportunities by making quick decisions. Once the plans are formulated, a leader must convey the excitement and energy of attaining goals to the workforce, inspiring people to follow the strategies set. Possessing strong leadership qualities and leading by example offers employees the opportunity to have a role model to emulate and begin to develop these same qualities themselves at their own level of the organization and to fulfill their own plans for advancement. It is said that a leader is only as good as his followers, but the same can be said that the followers can only be as good as their leader."
