The difference between the Management and Leadership are like this Management is the process of dealing with or controlling things or people while leadership is the action of leading a group of people or an organization.

2. A manager once told a subordinate, To be a good leader, you must first become a good follower. Discuss what it means to be a good follower, whether you agree with the statement, and why or why not. Answer.
There are leaders and followers at every level in our society, a fact none of us can change. However, in our quest to become leaders, some of us are failing to be good followers. Because a follower cannot behave recklessly by undermining and failing to support the leader and at the same time think he can or will be a good leader. Surely, the old saying what goes around comes back around will haunt his leadership. In fact, he will be reminded by his followers of his own acts of disloyalty toward his leader, setting the stage for weakened leadership.
