2. • Is managing somehow separate from
leadership?
• Is managing a science?

These are Three MYTHS.
Can you share your opinion about
following statements?
3. Leadership Vs management
One does the right things, copes with the
change; other does things right, copes with
the complexity.
4. Cont...
Would you like to be managed by someone who
doesn't lead?
Do you want to be lead by someone who
doesn’t manage?
well, we can separate the leadership from
management conceptually but we can not
separate them in practice.
5. Cont..
• Leadership can not simply delegate
management;
• Instead of distinguishing them we should see
managers as leaders, and leadership as
management practiced well.
• Leadership is earned not anointed.
6. Leadership or communityship
• Leadership focuses on the individual: when
ever we promote leadership we demote
others, as followers.
• Therefore to achieve the cooperative efforts in
the organization we should promote the sense
of communityship.
7. Keep managing ahead, seeing it together with
leadership as naturally embedded in what can
be called communityship.
8. Cont..
Is Management a profession?
Not even a profession, like engineers and
doctors who have codified knowledge learned
formally.
Doctors and engineers decisions doesn’t change
with context.
Where as managers acquires knowledge across
the context.
9. Managing as a practice
Is Management a science?
Certainly not a science.
Management certainly applies science as
managers have to use all the knowledge they
have to analyze the complex situations by
using scientific tools. ( meaning here scientific
proof more than scientific discovery)
10. Cont..
• Managing is a practice
• Learned primarily through experience(Art
which brings in the ideas and integration) ,
and rooted in context.
11. certainly not a science
• Managing is not a science ( science is about
the development of systematic knowledge
through research)
• Not even applied science ( though we applies
science for analysis rooted in the scientific
method)
• Only proof no discovery
12. • Effective management is more dependent on
art and rooted in craft. Art produces the
insight and vision based on intuition and craft
is about learning from experience- working
things out as the manager goes along.
13. • Put together a good deal of craft with the
right touch of art alongside some use of
science, and you end up with a job that is
above all a practice.
• Manager is someone responsible for a whole
organization or some identifiable part of it.
• The manager has to help bring out the best in
other people, so that they can know better,
decide better and act better.
15. Do we live in a time of great change?
• The basic aspect of human behavior is not
changing.
• Managing and leading is the most basic
behavior of human being
• The fact is that we only notice what is
changing. Information technology
18. Common image of a manager
• Sitting on the desk
• Well ordered
• Thinking grand thoughts
• Making great decisions
• Systematically planning the future
Folklore :- the manager is a reflective
and systematic planner
19. Facts
• Managers work as unrelenting pace;
• There activities are typically characterized by
brevity, variety, fragmentation, and
discontinuity
• They are strongly oriented to action
20. The managerial pace
• Managing is a job with perpetual
preoccupation: the manager can never be free
to forget the work, never has the pleasure of
knowing, even temporarily, that there is
nothing left to do.
21. The fragmentation and interruptions
• The significant activities seem to be
interspersed with the mundane in no
particular pattern; hence, the manager must
be prepared to shift moods quickly and
frequently.
1) That can be awfully dispiriting (disappointing).
2) That can be terribly disengaging.
Leaders tends to be twice born personalities, people who feel seprate from environment. They may work in the organization, but they never belong to them (Zalzanik 2004:79) how is such a person is supposed to lead an organization.
