To be successful in today's industry, a combination of both leadership and management skills is required. That sounds easy, but there is one problem - leadership and management are two separate skills.
Leadership is changing for better results; it is challenging the status quo and looking at the long term. Management, on the other hand, is consistency for better results; it is maintaining the status quo and focusing on short-term results. Management is about completing a project on time and on budget. Leadership and management, therefore, seem to contradict each other.
