About this lesson
This lesson defines management as the process of getting activities completed efficiently and effectively with and through other people, while leadership is the capacity to get others to willingly follow your example, advice, or demands. You'll discover how managers operate in a support role, coordinating and delegating tasks collaboratively, while leaders inspire others with a clear vision for the organisation's future. The lesson then introduces the five main leadership theories you'll explore in depth: trait theory, style theories, contingency or situational theories, transactional or transformational theories, and distributive theories—each offering different insights into how effective leadership actually works.
