Managers prefer to work with people. They become anxious without others to work with. Managers relate to people based on the role they play in an organization. Managers focus on getting things done in an organization. Managers are always looking for a win-win situation and how they can turn a win-win situation into a win-win situation to maintain balance. Leaders are just the opposite. Leaders have feelings. They show their hearts and feelings. Leaders often appear turbulent, intense, and sometimes disorganized. Problem Statement How do we develop leadership? Are leaders born or made? Everyone has their own opinions regarding this question. In 1977, when Zaleznik wrote the article Managers and Leaders: Are They Different?, the view of management was centered on organizational structure and processes. Management development focused exclusively on skill building, control and the appropriate balance of power. According to Zaleznik, that vision omitted the essential elements of leadership such as inspiration, vision and human passion.
