Leadership is establishing direction, gain commitment and motivate members to achieve the directed outcomes. Good leadership can help a company to overcome any kind of challenge that comes through and adapt to new trends. While, management is organize the work among teams, delegates the responsibility, allocate resources and get things done. Effective work cultures should possess both leadership and management skills for optimal effectiveness. I believe leadership and management skills have to be part and parcel of any employee’s development drive. Therefore, any company should understand that the skills required will be differed from grades, levels and job role and provide them the exposure that they may not experience through their day to day work. In order to boost in the qualities of employees that would result in high employee engagement directs to high performance of the organization and a a great place to work.
