Dedication/Acknowledgments
With every stride you take toward progress, there will always be someone who harbors envy and ill intentions toward you. However, this adversity serves as fuel for your inner strength. As I moved towards the pinnacle of my professional journey, I found myself faced with a situation where these individuals sought to ensnare me in a trap, hoping to hinder my advancement.
I had dedicated my heart and soul to my fast-paced career, yet their actions compelled me to embark on a different path. Through their attempt to set a trap, these individuals unknowingly propelled me toward an entirely new direction.
Instead of succumbing to anger and hatred, which are one's greatest adversaries, I am genuinely grateful to these misguided souls who unintentionally played a significant role in shaping my new profession.
There is a saying that when one door slams shut, you must seek out another to open. And if that door is locked as well, my dear reader, then climb through the window!
I wholeheartedly extend my forgiveness and empathy towards those individuals, for their malicious intentions have boomeranged back to them, leaving them in a pitiful state.
I want them to understand that I am always prepared to offer my assistance should they require my support.
It is with great honor that I dedicate this book to those individuals, and I sincerely wish for them to conquer their egos and rediscover their true selves.
Introduction
Leadership and management have been studied throughout history; different scholars have tried to describe what they mean, and we have experienced an evolution of their meaning. I hope to inform my readers about the numerous changes in leadership and management, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is vital to understand the minute variations in successful leadership and management styles today and eliminate outdated notions. However, I want to introduce myself before discussing what is in the book.
I am the founder and director of LLC Nix Development, a property development company in Tbilisi, Georgia. Our latest project involves the construction of an eight-story residential structure in Tbilisi.
My farm, located in the Kakheti region, Georgia, covers a large land area and is managed by my company, LLC Eastern Gardens: Almond Gardens. The farm produces high-quality almonds that are sold both domestically and internationally.
My third business venture is the USA-based Corporation, which is a transportation logistics company. The company specializes in providing ground freight transportation services for clients, helping them move cargo across the land.
Beyond my business ventures, I have extensive experience in different fields, such as educational business and the energy industry. The biggest experience I have gained is in the public sector, primarily in the security forces. I have held various roles in Georgia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs from 2000 to 2017, including a top inspector, head of the division, Head of the LEPL-Service Agency, and Chief of the Mia Border Police.
As a Ph.D. researcher in the business and economics department at Tbilisi State University, my interests include exploring the distinctions between leadership and management in the public and commercial spheres.
I am thrilled to share with my dear readers the remarkable combination of my real-world experience and academic expertise. It is a captivating convergence that I am eager to impart to all of my readers. Therefore, prepare yourself for an extraordinary voyage of educational exploration and self-discovery by fastening your seatbelt.
This book will delve deep into the distinctions between leadership and management in the public and commercial spheres, highlighting the significant changes that have taken place in contemporary society. I have intended this book for a broad audience, including business professionals, academics, students, and anyone interested in leadership and management.
This book challenges the traditional view that leadership and management are synonymous and demonstrates the distinct nature between the two. By providing readers with a clear understanding of the differences between leadership and management and the various ways these concepts are applied, the book will equip them with the knowledge and tools they need to become influential leaders and managers in their respective fields.
Chapter 1:
Understanding Leadership & Management
L
eadership and management are the terms often used interchangeably in the business world. However, despite their similarities, they are fundamentally distinct concepts that require different skills and approaches. In this chapter, we will explore the differences between leadership and management, highlighting the unique roles and responsibilities of each. Let’s start with concept of management.
Management involves organizing and directing resources to achieve specific goals, and it includes tasks such as:
Planning
Organizing
Controlling
Directing resources
The core purpose is to ensure that organizational objectives are met optimally. Managers are responsible for ensuring that day-to-day operations run smoothly and tasks are completed on time and within budget. They are also accountable for managing resources such as people, finances, and technology to ensure they are employed effectively and efficiently.
However, management is not just about overseeing processes and completing tasks. It also involves motivating and leading people to achieve their full potential. Managers must be skilled in communication, team building, and conflict resolution to ensure their teams are productive and engaged. They must be able to provide guidance and direction to their team members, ensuring that everyone is aligned toward a common goal.
Leadership is focused on inspiring and motivating people to achieve a shared vision. Leaders are responsible for setting the direction and goals of an organization and inspiring their teams to achieve them. Unlike managers, who focus on achieving specific objectives, leaders are concerned with creating a vision for the future and inspiring others to follow that vision.
Leaders must be skilled in communication, motivation, and visioning. They must be able to communicate their vision in a way that inspires and motivates others to follow them. They must also build strong relationships with their team members, creating a culture of trust and collaboration that encourages creativity and innovation.
The Ship Metaphor:
One way to understand the difference between leadership and management is to consider the metaphor of a ship. The ship’s captain is like a manager, responsible for ensuring that the ship is on course, that the crew follows the right procedures, and that the ship is maintained and repaired as necessary. The captain focuses on the ship’s day-to-day operations, ensuring it stays afloat and moves in the right direction.
On the other hand, the ship’s navigator is like a leader. The navigator is responsible for setting the ship’s course, deciding where it should go and how it should get there. The navigator is focused on the big picture, ensuring that the ship is headed in the right direction and arrives at its destination safely and on time.
The Differences Between the Two:[1]
There is certainly an overlap between leadership and management. Management involves overseeing processes, resources, and people to achieve specific objectives, while leadership is about inspiring and guiding others toward a shared goal.
Managers focus on efficiency, structure, and control, using systems and processes to optimize performance and minimize risks. They are responsible for planning, organizing, and directing an organization’s resources to achieve specific outcomes. In contrast, leaders are focused on vision, inspiration, and innovation. They encourage creativity and collaboration, creating a sense of purpose that inspires others to work toward a shared goal.
One key difference between management and leadership is the way they motivate people. Managers typically use extrinsic motivators like rewards and punishments to encourage people to perform well. In contrast, leaders rely more on intrinsic motivators like personal fulfillment, a sense of purpose, and a desire to contribute to something greater than oneself. While both approaches can be effective in different situations, research suggests that intrinsic motivation is more sustainable and leads to greater job satisfaction and performance over the long term.
Another key difference is the way they handle change. Managers tend to be more risk-averse, focusing on maintaining stability and avoiding disruption. They often ensure existing systems and processes work effectively and efficiently. On the other hand, leaders are more comfortable with change and disruption, recognizing that innovation and growth often require taking risks and challenging the status quo. They are responsible for setting a direction for the organization, aligning people around a common vision, and inspiring them to take action.
Of course, it is important to recognize that management and leadership are critical components of any successful organization. Without effective management, an organization can quickly become disorganized and chaotic; without strong leadership, it can
