Leadership involves influencing a group to achieve goals. It focuses and motivates a group while also being accountable for the group. Traditionally, one person is appointed as the permanent leader but some argue leadership should come from different individuals using their strengths. Leadership and management are often conflated but managing uses formal methods while leading uses passion and emotions. Leadership is an asset for managers who maximize organizational output through administration. Leaders think radically while managers think incrementally. A leader's vision should guide actions over attempting to control others.
