Managers have the responsibility and power to make decisions and oversee companies. A leader will be able to think and act creatively in difficult situations. Leadership unlike management cannot be taught, but can be enhanced by mentoring or coaching. Hersey and Blanchard 1972, Situational leadership. Hersey and Blanchard believed that a person’s readiness was the situational characteristic that determined the combination of task and a person’s behavior.
The first step of effective leadership is to recognize the various needs and concerns of the clique and the social network on the job. In the simulation, the manager realizes that it is not so a desirable circumstances of being responsible for the teams that have clearly resisted the leadership. The manager had to resize and restructure the team for the best intentions of the team to understanding the formation and fundamental sub-structures, and their impact on supporting the group thinking towards organizational goals. The success of the leadership was reliant on the leadership style and decisions that utilize the influence of the teams’ behavior and the kind of teams that was chosen to execute those decisions.

Both also buy into the idea that autonomy is what drives them. Like Drucker, Hammer (2004) stresses the importance of defining the task of the knowledge worker. Defining the task of the knowledge worker is important because it is necessary for expectations to be established (Drucker, 1999). And because the knowledge worker is not programmed by the defined task, the task can change. While Drucker (1999) attempts to establish a way to measure productivity, Hammer (2004) suggests that the productivity of the knowledge worker should not be measured, but rather measure the productivity of the organization.
In addition, management controls the process as well as providing the path, rules, and resources to reach the companies goal (Kumle, 2006). Roles of Managers and Leaders Some say that the difference between a manager and being a leader is that management is career while leadership is a calling.
