2 Discussion 2: Can Leaders Manage and Managers Lead? There is always confusion between management and leadership in an organization. It is easier to find a leader who is a good manager than a good manager who is a leader. This was my experience in one organization where I was a follower. The manager was influential in their administration from planning to execution of duties but did not have the willpower to lead team members into making the implementation a success. As a manager, he showed active listening and communication and was determined to praise effectively (Raducan & Raducan, 2014). However, he did not demonstrate the ability to be flexible; it was either his way or the highway. In leadership, to some extent, he demonstrated the skills of building relationships and effective decision-making necessary for the organization. Conversely, critical thinking, agility, adaptability as well as innovation, and creativity were missing. The manager's position was very influential as it was a project management and involved various professionals. As a result, ensuring the project ran smoothly required managerial skills, ensuring that all the objectives were met, resources were utilized as planned and the workforce achieved what they were destined for. However, bringing collaboration between dynamic professionals requires leadership skills. Through leadership, he would set the example of what needs to be done apart from just giving instructions (Liphadzi et al., 2017). Through leadership, he would ensure that all the professionals are united and work cohesively to achieve the primary objectives, not just because the work has brought them together. This would have resulted in more improved outcomes as opposed to what the results were. Interacting with the manager taught me the significance of being free with your team members, especially in project management cases. It is essential to give the followers a reason they can depend on the leader rather than creating a boundary where there is some

3 unapproachable authority once at the helm (Liphadzi et al., 2017). This is important in earning the trust of the followers. Secondly, both leadership and management should set examples to their followers. Showing your team members what to do and how to do it is more critical than giving instructions and letting them sort the way out.
