Leadership

Development of leadership capability is just as important as the development of management capability, but the focus is very different. Management covers a broad range of activities, such as planning and allocating work, recruiting staff, controlling costs and budgets, and establishing effective communication systems. By contrast leadership primarily concentrates on individual personal behaviour and relationships with others.
