| − | Management and leadership are both critical in achieving the desired results in any project. The two concepts are sometimes misunderstood as being the same and are commonly confused for one another. It is understandable since they share several common characteristics but in fact management and leadership are two separate concepts. Management focuses on ways to achieve project objectives. That includes planning, organizing and monitoring the work. On the other hand, leadership focuses on people and activities involved with the project team. That involves inspiring, guiding, listening and influencing. Effective project managers possess a combination of both leadership and management skills. The balance may vary depending on the circumstances but combining qualities of both allows a project manager to make decisions, assigning responsibilities and motivating their teams to succeed.
