Abstract
Discussions on leadership typically get bogged down by a debate between the differences of leadership and management. Some authors argue that leadership and management are diametrically opposed concepts (Bennis & Nanus, 1985) while other authors use the terms interchangeably (Yukl, 2010). This article consider competing perspectives to understand better the relationship between leadership and management, and will conclude by suggesting that effective leaders need to be good managers and that effective managers need to be good leaders. In leadership and management the gender perspective is of outstanding importance. This article also explains that women’s traditional and stereotypic styles of communication are more like those of a good manager than are men’s stereotypic styles.
