From the Paper:

"Leadership and management are necessary functions in business, and the two are both similar and different. Many of the differences are subtle and are a matter of interpretation. Certainly, both terms describe qualities needed by both the leader and the manager, with a somewhat different emphasis for each. Management takes the elements that exist and shapes them toward the end that has been identified, while leadership inspires and looks to reshape the elements themselves in order to achieve some larger purpose. This can be seen in the specific area of strategic management where the tone is set by the leadership, which devises the overall strategy in terms of the organizational mission, while the manager must implement policy that produces the desired ends."
