Detailed guidance/task
Different people have used management and leadership terms differently. While some use
them as synonymous terms, other view them as two completely different terminologies.
However, the majority appreciates some similarities and differences between them. Some
say that leadership does not require any managerial position to act as a leader and others
believe that true manager is one with traits of leadership in him.
Considering contemporary literature and your own professional experience, what could be
the main links and differences between leadership and management?
How do the psychometric tests you have undertaken in Unit 5 indicate your personal
characteristics fitting you for positions of leadership and/or management? Remember these
are not set in stone and the purpose of the tests is not judgemental but developmental.
A good discussion should evidence excellent academic and practical application, a solid
evaluation and reasonable analysis, showing evidence of:
 Key similarities and differences between leadership and management in industries
and organisations of your choice.
 Leadership principles that support organisational values in your chosen origination.
In facilitating this collaborative activity, your engagement will be assessed based upon
participation, and quality of your work in the discussion forum, academic writing skills and
original thoughts.
Remember, the format of this assessment is a discussion with your peers and thus you are
expected to:
 Post your initial thoughts by replying to the summative thread in the discussion board
 Post at least 3 or 4 meaningful and insightful responses to others in the forum
 Ask insightful questions that help your and others to learn
