Management is the act of getting people together to fulfill expected goals and objectives using available resources effectively and efficiency.

According to Kottler (2001)

Management is about coping with complexity. According to his point of view good management brings a degree of order and consistence to key dimension like quality and profitability of products.

The process of the management is planning, organizing, staffing, directing and controlling

Leadership is mainly involves with directing and guiding of the team for ultimate goals and motivating them with fullest support and coordination of the leader.

Leader is  always helpful person so that his team can communicate any matters directly with him without any hesitation, Always He is a capable person and able to build trust on their team members mind.

When it comes to the management He is the structured person always focusing achieve to specific goals and objectives within given time frame. He has subordinates giving orders and instruction by using his authority. Manager is working with the given frame work and he is not thinking out of the box to achieve their goals.

According to the characteristics and the behaviors of the leaders and managers whereby we can see some similarities and differences as well. 

Leaders are willing to change they are more creatively think out of the box to achieved ultimate goals while manages frame work is limited so that the innovations and creativity is limited when compared with the leadership.   

When it comes to the conclusion the successful leader should have managerial skill as well and to become good manager leadership role is essential. When it comes to achieving goals and objectives there should be a good mix of both the qualities and characteristics.

According to my point of view Leaders can play managers role without much difficulties by absorbing some technical skills and to become successful managers they have to develop definitely leadership skills.

Even though managers and Leaders ultimate target is to achieve specific goals and objectives while managing the subordinates they are playing differently according to their characters but achieving goals effectively and efficiency mix of the both qualities are very important.
