Leadership is considered one of the most important administrative functions exercised by the manager, because after the plan is drawn up, it moves into the sphere of implementation, and is taken up by minds, hands and machines to accomplish it according to the set goals and defined stages.
Thus, leadership is the beating heart of the administrative process, and the administrative leader is the one who leads the organisation and achieves coordination within it between its units and members. We present to you, during this programme and through this guide, successful leadership, leadership styles, the leader, the process of change, and administrative supervision and its skills.
Talk of leadership is as old as history, while talk of management did not begin until recent decades; nevertheless, leadership is a branch of management science.
Management focuses on four main processes: planning, organising, directing and supervising, and control, whereas leadership focuses on three main processes: setting direction and vision, rallying forces behind this vision, and motivation and galvanising enthusiasm.
Leadership focuses on emotion, while management focuses on logic.
Leadership is concerned with the whole, "choosing the right work", while management is concerned with parts and details, "choosing the right way to do the work".
They both share in setting the goal and creating the appropriate atmosphere to achieve it, then ensuring that what is required is accomplished according to certain standards and foundations.
Managers and supervisors, department heads, and candidates for supervisory positions.
