   We can easily define the difference between managers and leaders.  In the literal sense, a manager is tasked with “planning, organizing, staffing and controlling” (Northouse, 2015 p. 13).  The concept of managing is seemingly very task oriented and maintains a high sense of control over subordinates with little autonomy.  Managers are there to simply “provide order and consistency to organizations” (Northouse, 2015 p. 13). The managers having a high level of control over their subodinates. 

While management is a necessary aspect to operating any organization effectively, management without leadership can be “stifling and bureaucratic” (Northouse, 2015 p. 13    A        manager they have worked for that exhibited zero leadership skills.  Working for an individual like this can have a detrimental effect on employee morale and organizational results.   

.   

The fact is, “both management and leadership are essential if an organization is to prosper” (Northouse, 2015 p 13).  It is critical that managers also develop leadership skills in order to be the most effective.  Organizations need to ensure they “nourish both competent management and skilled leadership” (Northouse, 2015 p 13) to promote the best results.   

  As a leader in a sales environment, a leader inspires their sales team to want to meet goals.  A leader doesn’t just dictate the plan to meet goals, they collaborate and “develop a culture that encourages, supports and rewards individual and team achievements” (Zimmerman, E.L, 2001).  A leader doesn’t rely on power to accomplish goals, “He/she engages willingly in coaching, feedback, recognition, brainstorming and mentoring in order to maximize the enterprise’s results” (Zimmerman, E.L, 2001). A leader understands the human and emotional side for motivating and developing their staff.

 when it comes to the global context, it is clear that the virgin is the best place where an inspiring leadership can be seen.    "Leadership doesn't have a secret formula; all true leaders go about things in their own way," Sir Richard noted in an interview with the Daily Telegraph

While leadership certainly shares functions of management, management without leadership fails to “motivate intrinsically” and fails to allow for “creative thinking, strategic planning, tolerance to ambiguity, being able to read people” (Northouse, 2015 p 15).  It is possible, and preferrecond, that those in leadership positions “combine the best elements of both disciplines most needed for optimum results” (Zimmerman, E.L, 2001).   

Conclusion 

Leadership is the most valuable asset in any organization..Leaders  always influence others,making strategic decisions and also developing a direction and vision.In the other hand managers are more concerned with relating to people in a organization and responsibilities assigned
