SHORT SUGGESTED SOLUTION FOR QUESTION 1:
Distinguishing Between Leadership and Management:
In modern businesses, leaders and managers are needed to ensure the success and
sustainability of the business. Management is regarded and the broader ‘umbrella’ term. In
management literature, four functions are usually singled out as the main functions of a
manager, namely planning, organising, leading, and controlling.
To lead, leaders need to have followers. This is the first difference between managers and
leaders. Second, leaders are not appointed in a formal business hierarchy. Leaders are also
responsible for setting directives, aligning their followers with the vision of the business,
motivating, and inspiring their followers.
